North Queensland Local Info Session

This localised info session aims to keep members informed about key local issues and changes that may impact their business.

It only takes one messy contract to turn a profitable job into a massive headache. From a client nitpicking a progress claim or just flat-out refusing to pay, your contract is often the only thing standing between you and a major loss.

Join our Local Info Session where John Carey from Wilson/ryan/grose Lawyers will help you get your paperwork sorted so cash keeps moving and disputes are kept at a minimum.

We’ll be covering the essentials, including:

• How to pick the right payment structure (progress stages vs. monthly claims) and stay on the right side of legal deposit limits.
• The right way to handle claims for work in progress with clients
• What to do when the money stops – including a step-by-step guide on how to "down tools" and suspend work without breaching your own contract.

This session is all about giving you the confidence to use stronger contracts and knowing exactly what to move to make when a payment doesn't hit your account.
