Freelance Contract Review — what actually matters.
Freelance contracts are almost always drafted by the client — in the client's favour. Unlimited liability clauses, IP assignments that hand over all your work, and payment terms that allow 60-day delays are common and costly. Know what you're agreeing to before you start work.
Liability & indemnity
Unlimited indemnity clauses can expose you to claims worth far more than your fees. We flag these and suggest a capped alternative.
IP & work ownership
Who owns what you create? Many contracts assign not just the deliverable but all underlying work and future rights. We explain the real position.
Payment terms
Net-60 payment terms, kill fees, and expense caps can significantly affect your cash flow. We flag all of them.

Common questions
FAQs
What UK law protects freelancers?
The Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998 gives you the right to charge 8% above the Bank of England base rate on late payments. We flag any clauses that try to waive this.
Can a client own everything I create?
If the contract says so, yes — under UK copyright law, the default for commissioned work is that you retain copyright unless you assign it. We check exactly what your contract assigns.
What's a reasonable liability cap?
Typically the total fees paid under the contract. We flag clauses with unlimited liability and suggest specific alternative wording.
What is IR35 and does my contract affect it?
IR35 determines whether you're taxed as an employee or self-employed. Contract language matters — we flag terms that may indicate disguised employment.
