What’s the best payment structure?
We always recommend that you get some payment up front no matter what your framework is. This helps sort through paying and nonpaying clients. You also want to back up any payment structure with a prevailing party clause. This means you can recover any attorneys fees if you have to enforce payment. This is a very practical clause that could save you thousands of dollars.
