While the creative side of interior design keeps most of us in the game, the complexities of contracts, liability issues, and regulatory compliance can be challenging. Interior design projects often involve multiple stakeholders – including clients, trade contractors, and suppliers – so clear and legally sound contracts are crucial to prevent misunderstandings and disputes (and we have you covered here with the KBDi Design Consultancy Agreement).
Additionally, designers must be aware of protecting intellectual property, managing payment disputes, and understanding consumer rights. Consistent legal support helps interior designers mitigate risks and operate their businesses confidently and professionally.
KBDi Legal Partner Sprintlaw has developed a special membership for KBDi Members to ensure they have inexpensive access to such legal support.
