Have you ever hesitated to push back on a client’s “non-negotiable” contract — even when something didn’t feel right?
For freelance medical writers, contracts can be one of the most intimidating parts of running a business. Between indemnity clauses, “work made for hire” language, and shifting risk to the writer, it’s easy to feel powerless. In this episode, legal strategist Brionna Ned (The Lawless Lawyer) breaks down how to approach contract negotiations with confidence — so you can protect your work, your income, and your peace of mind.
You'll learn how to:
- Identify and communicate your leverage points — the non-negotiables that protect your business.
- Decode intimidating legal terms like indemnity and work made for hire in plain language.
- Reframe contract negotiation from a high-stakes confrontation into a collaborative conversation about creating a fair working relationship.
Press play to discover how to build contract confidence, reduce risk, and negotiate terms that support a thriving medical writing business.
