How would a digital nomad go about enforcing employment or freelance contracts with other digital nomads?

Answered by Larissa Bodniowycz, remote lawyer, asked by Radvilė Jočytė, journalist

This is a question that really depends on the exact situation. A good starting point is to ensure the contract is clear about the freelancer or employees obligations and explicitly state where disputes will be resolved and under what law. For example, a California USA company would want their contract to state that disputes will be resolved in the county they are in under California law.

Another option is to use a third-party service such as Upwork that helps handle the administrative side of hiring freelancers and paying them.
