10 Essential Online Resources for Freelancers

[rickwebb]

With Docracy's big data tool, searcher.io, companies can quickly and more easily uncover "prior art," information that can help shoot holes in the often weak patents used to bring infringement lawsuits. Prior art—patent applications, rejected patents, previously published descriptions of a technology—can invalidate a patent and any lawsuit based on it.

So you feel like starting a company? Or maybe a bit of freelance on the side? You will have heard the horror stories of hellish clients and the dodgy contracts with arguments over pay so you will most likely appreciate the importance of getting a professionally written, clear and concise contract with agreed terms and conditions for both you and any employer/client to sign. Its easy to get this wrong and anyone can tell you if theres a loophole, a cheap client will find and exploit them.

So introduce Docracy, a free and open source resource for legal documents that you can edit and save for your own uses. The documents are all rated and reviewed so you know just what quality your going in for.

Imagine what open source could do to the law. Imagine if every law and form of contract that governs your life could be made easy to read and open to improvement by the community. Imagine if we had perfect information about what the best forms of contracts where--and which parts were non-standard. Instead of a team of lawyers working at someone else’s firm drafting the terms that affected you, you could use the contract the community had already decided was most fair--for free. That would not only make doing business more seamless and less costly, but it would start to sway the balance between the haves and the have nots.
