Resolving disagreements with clients is a routine part of running a business, but what happens when a client refuses to pay you or disputes your fee? Many freelancers and small business owners turn to small claims court, a civil court that hears cases where the amount in dispute is less than $10,000, to reach a court-enforced settlement.

In Indisputable Defense: Preparing for Small Claims Court, participants will learn the basic process of filing a small claims lawsuit and some strategies to help them succeed at negotiating in and out of court. Indisputable Defense will prepare participants to gather evidence in advance of a dispute and train them to build consensus with even the most unruly clients.

About Online Workshops:

Registrants will be emailed a link to register for the Zoom seminar online after booking through the CLA website. Please make sure to register both via this page and on the Zoom registration page.
