We have all been there, you’re starting an assignment, and you need to sign the contract that goes with it. You start reading and quickly feel uncomfortable signing it, because all obligations lie with you and the rights with the client.

Ian de Swart (Co-Founder at Charipickers) roots for balanced, fair, and transparent contracts. Ian is a Contingent Workforce Specialist and helps companies build fair contracts for freelancers and consultants so that both parties feel comfortable putting their signature on this very important piece of paper.

We met with Ian to discuss:

  • What is the difference between working directly with a Client or through a Contractor or Subcontractor?
  • How are contracts set up from a client (Contractor/Subcontractor) point of view, and how does this relate to you?
  • Are you compliant with Belgian law?
  • How can I protect myself from liabilities on a project?
  • How does the new B2B legislation affect me as a freelancer?
  • What are the dos and don’ts in contract negotiation?
  • What do I do in case of a conflict?
