What's a freelancer doing that requires insurance?

A lot of freelancers have the assumption they don't need insurance because they aren't doing anything high risk. They also think that having a contract is enough to protect them. I look at what exactly freelancers are doing that insurance could help them with from missing project milestones to clients misunderstanding briefs. I also touch upon the myth that contracts are enough to protect you. The information in this podcast is for general guidance and is not legal advice.

• Contracts are useful for laying down the foundation of what duties are to be expected. Insurance steps into action when those duties come into question
