Andre now advises other freelancers to use a contract with each and every one of their clients, whether they are first starting out or have been in the game for a while. He said that based on his experience, there is no reason to dread talking about contracts with a client — especially because, assuming the contract is fair and balanced, having it protects both parties, so most clients will probably prefer to sign one to have some protection as well.
Andre added that you should tell the client that the project will begin when both parties have signed the contract and the initial payment has been made. That way, the client will know that they should expect to receive a contract, and if they have any questions about it you can work out those details together before moving forward.
