Navigate Legal Landmines of an Organizing Business CD

Are you aware of potential legal pitfalls in running your organizing business? As the organizing profession continues to grow and gain exposure, it will also experience growing pains and attract more attention. While this is a natural process of any growing profession, it also tends to raise legal concerns that many organizers may not be aware of. Led by an attorney-organizer, this session will assist the professional organizer in identifying legal issues that may arise in running an organizing business - choosing a business structure that best meets your needs, securing adequate insurance and knowing the difference between various types of insurance, the use of a written agreement and the terms it should contain, understanding the basics of trademark, service mark and copyright, and the prohibition against conspiring to set fees within an industry. Armed with basic legal terms and knowledge, participants will be aware of when it may be necessary to seek professional legal advice, what type of attorney to contact, and what issues they may be able to handle on their own.
