The 5 Legal Gaps Most Businesses Don’t Realize They Have
Most business owners focus on clients and revenue, not legal compliance — until problems arise. These legal risks are predictable and fixable with a few key documents and processes.
1. Contracts That Don’t Reflect Your Work: Old or borrowed contracts can leave you unprotected. Make sure your agreements match your actual scope, payment terms, and process.
2. Missing or Outdated Contractor Agreements: Use clear, compliant Independent Contractor Agreements and Statements of Work to avoid misclassification risks.
3. No Scope Control Process: Without defined scope, you risk disputes and unpaid work. Add scope control clauses and use SOWs consistently.
4. Outdated Website Policies: If you collect personal info, have current Privacy Policies, Terms of Use, and Disclaimers that comply with laws like Texas’s TDPSA.
5. No Legal Maintenance Plan: Regular contract reviews, policy updates, and compliance checks prevent costly issues. Create a simple legal calendar.
