Ask Can a freelancer get sued through a freelance platform if the client is unhappy with the work?

[Brendan]

Most people assume that working through a platform gives you full legal cover, but that is not really how it works. The platform handles payments and disputes, but it does not act as a legal shield if things go seriously wrong between you and a client. A very unhappy client can still take legal steps outside the platform, especially if they feel the loss is significant enough to pursue. Have you ever worried about legal exposure when delivering work a client later rejected?
