About this event

  • 1 hour

Join us for a workshop designed to empower business owners with essential contract knowledge to protect their business and relationships.

In today's competitive business landscape, solid relationships are key to success. However, relying solely on verbal agreements or handshake deals can leave your business vulnerable to misunderstandings and legal complications. That's where contracts come in.

This workshop is perfect for business owners looking to move beyond handshake deals and gain confidence in navigating business agreements. Led by Attorney Aleece McKnight, this workshop will guide you through the crucial types of contracts every business owner needs, explaining why they're essential and common pitfalls to avoid. You'll discover how to identify the right contracts for different business relationships and learn some key contract language to watch out for.

By the end of the session, you'll walk away with practical knowledge to help you protect your business interests and foster better relationships with clients, contractors, and partners. Don't miss this opportunity to take your business acumen to the next level—secure your spot today!

This event will start right at 11:30AM. Plan to arrive with enough time to find parking and locate our entrance at the corner of Peabody and BB King, directly across from Hooters and Hampton Inn.

Lunch will be provided by Fino's.
