A precise statement of work helps prevent disputes and ensures that the work meets the client's requirements.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"plo-freelancer-legal-item\">\n<div class=\"plo-freelancer-legal-num\">2<\/div>\n<div>\n<h4>Timeline &amp; Milestones<\/h4>\n<p>Deadlines and milestones should be clearly defined in the contract\u2014to ensure transparent project progress and to serve as the basis for progress payments or final acceptance.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"plo-freelancer-legal-item\">\n<div class=\"plo-freelancer-legal-num\">3<\/div>\n<div>\n<h4>Intellectual Property<\/h4>\n<p>Important: Who owns the rights to the work products?

An experienced staffing agency can provide you with legal protection in this regard.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"plo-freelancer-legal-item\">\n<div class=\"plo-freelancer-legal-num\">6<\/div>\n<div>\n<h4>Taxes &amp; Social Security<\/h4>\n<p>For cross-border freelance assignments, double taxation treaties and social security agreements between Germany and the home country must be observed.
