Do freelancers need a solicitor?
Not always, but a solicitor is advisable when signing a client contract worth more than £5,000, dealing with IP ownership disputes, reviewing a non-compete clause, or setting up a limited company. Many freelancers use a solicitor once a year for contract reviews.
What legal issues do freelancers commonly face?
The most common issues are late or non-payment by clients (covered by the Late Payment of Commercial Debts Act), IP ownership clauses in client contracts, non-compete and exclusivity clauses, and IR35 status disputes. A specialist solicitor can draft contracts that protect you from all of these.
How much does a freelancer solicitor cost?
A standard client contract review costs £150–£400. Bespoke contract drafting ranges from £300–£800. Many solicitors offer a free 30-minute initial consultation. Some platforms offer fixed-fee services starting at £99 for straightforward reviews.
