Interior Design Contracts &Intellectual Property with Wendy Estela

Join attorney Wendy Estela for an essential lunch and learn that tackles three challenges every designer faces: protecting your creative work, structuring your contracts, and navigating how to present your pricing in a way that’s clear and client-friendly without revealing your cost of goods or compromising your value.

We’ll cover:

Pricing Clarity vs. Cost Disclosure: Learn how to explain your fees and value without being pressured to share your vendor pricing or profit margins.

Effective Communication: Gain tools and language to present your contract and pricing structure with confidence—so clients trust your process without second-guessing it.

Legal Protection: Discover the key legal elements your contract must include to protect your intellectual property, manage expectations, and ensure project cash flow.

Whether you’re flat-fee, hourly, or markup-based, this session will help you align your business model with solid legal foundations—and communicate it with clarity and confidence.
