June 1st, 2015 - I am in the process of building this course and need your feedback, so I encourage you to join today at this incredibly low price because it will be raising to $499 like my other courses once the content is all added in the coming weeks. If you enroll now, you'll be able to get all of those updates.

----Updated for June 2015---

Many tutorials teach you "how to develop games" or "how to start an indie game studio", but none of them give include the MISSING PIECE: the legal and business information you need to run your own game projects, your freelancing career, or small studio like a professional.

Are you a game developer who wants to get the information that you'd get in a $500 an hour consultation with a lawyer BUT can you not afford to invest that type of money right now? This course is for you.

In addition to legal issues, learn about the business from interviews with famous game makers like Gabe Newell of Valve, Chris Avellone of Obsidian, and Edmund McMillen (creator of Super Meat Boy and The Binding of Issac).

Don't let the course length scare you though, you only need to watch the sections that are relevant and useful to you.

WHO AM I? I'm an intellectual property lawyer who works with creative professionals like web designers, game developers, and Youtubers. Some of my clients are the biggest internet personalities in the world with millions of Youtube subscribers, Twitter followers, and millions in endorsement deal revenue. But at the end of the day they're still 1-5 employee creative businesses like the one you have or would like to start.

WHY DID I CREATE THIS? I've advised literally 100's of aspiring creatives for free out of the kindness of my own heart over the years. To ensure that I could help as many people as possible, even the people who can't pay may rate as an attorney, I am building this course. My goal is to ensure that you take the path of least resistance and most reward. I used to be a graphic designer and filmmaker myself after all, so I want to give back to creators/freelancers.

I want to see entrepreneurs and creatives who want create jobs and create art succeed. I'd like your new ideas to change the world. I want to empower you to understand of the law now so it doesn't get in your way later. Problems that are easy to solve now can cost a fortune to fix later.

WHAT YOU'LL GET

30 Day money back guarantee! - If you don't like it, get your money back
Write and negotiate your own contracts for clients to avoid paying a lawyer $500 an hour to do it for you. I'll review several graphic designer contract templates that you may encounter paragraph by paragraph. I'll explain in detail what each section means, so you can know what to include in your standard business terms
Avoid losing clients. If you turn in work to clients that is unusable because it violates copyright or other intellectual property laws, you'll lose that client.
Avoid doing unpaid revisions. Learn how to write a contract that prohibits your clients from making you do unnecessary revisions and unpaid revisions. Also, learn how to avoid making unusable work that violates IP laws that you will have to revise.
Save time and keep your clients longer. Learn how to develop a set of "standard business terms" to streamline the time it takes to lock in new clients. Avoid having to make multiple contracts for multiple projects since if you do it properly, you only need one.
Understand when you may need a lawyer as a game developer. Once you're successful enough that you can hire an attorney, learn what kind of lawyer you may need, how to find that person, and how to negotiate for the lowest fee.
Avoid lawsuits. Although a lawsuit is unlikely, one threat of legal action could destroy your entire business. Learn the information you need to prevent legal problems now and prevent them from ever arising.
