GETTING PAID IN THE NAKED ECONOMY

Miller Law, PLLC is pleased to announce that Meredith’s article, Getting Paid in the Naked Economy, was accepted for publication and will appear in volume 32 of the Hofstra Labor and Employment Law Journal. This article addresses freelancers’ very specific and all-too-common difficulties collecting unpaid invoices. It provides an overview of the contractual tools, legislative reforms and market responses that are evolving to minimize the risk of nonpayment. The paper concludes that technology and private enterprise are evolving to meet the challenges of the independent workforce; however, contracting norms and legal structures must also rise to address the vulnerabilities of free agency.
