EP157 Legal Essentials for Retreat Leaders with Cory Sterling

The Retreat Leaders Podcast

Welcome to today's episode where we dive deep into the legalities of hosting retreats with expert Cory Sterling, a business lawyer who specializes in helping retreat leaders stay legal (and makes it fun!).

In this show, Cory outlines the primary legal considerations every retreat leader should address before planning their retreat, including business structure, local regulations, and specific laws affecting retreat activities. Cory provides strategies to mitigate these risks, emphasizing the importance of risk assessment and management. Cory also stresses the importance of clarity and comprehensiveness in agreements to prevent future disputes. In this show, we also discuss various types of insurance policies that retreat leaders might need, including general liability, professional liability, and travel insurance.

One surprising thing we discussed is the significance of protecting program content, branding, and other intellectual properties and Cory shares best practices for securing intellectual property rights and the potential consequences of neglecting this aspect.

Take a listen to this packed show and connect with Cory Sterling to ensure you are set up correctly and protected in your business.
