Season 2 Episode 1: Interior Design Law, Contracts & Templates

In this episode of the Interior DesignHer podcast, we interview interior designer & 3D rendering artist Kate Cook.

Season 2 Episode 1: Interior Design Law, Contracts & Templates

In this episode of the Interior DesignHer podcast, we interview lawyer Erica Canas.

Erica specializes in interior design law, contracts & contract templates for interior designers.

Her firm, ID Law Shop, is one of the very few sources of legal contracts created for interior designers BY a lawyer who specializes in interior design contract law. We all know that no business owner wants to spend money preventing legal jeopardy.

It's no fun. It's like buying life & disability insurance. Yuck. But, if you like your interior design business AND you want to prevent a litigious/annoying client from throwing your business (and life) into chaos, you may want to shoot Erica a quick email or schedule a call.

After 27 years in the interior design biz, Laura is sought out by less experienced designers looking for help with their design businesses.

In an attempt to share her expertise with a larger pool of designers, Laura launched her interior design business podcast - The Business of Beautiful Spaces - a year ago.
