31 years is the longest, starting about six months into my career.

I have been working with my long-standing customer (a small Belgian translation agency) for 29 years. I have been working with a direct client (an European regional association) for 25 years.

A Swedish agency met here in 2004, before 2004 I was working in house in a jewels company while teaching French in a school for accountants (evenings)

I haven't been freelancing for very long, but my longest-standing client is the first client I ever worked with as a freelancer. I started working for them literally two days before I was officially a freelancer.

About 40 years. We should both have retired years ago, but neither of us seems to be able to manage it.

Italians are often offended when you ask them to pay your bills, this is a culture "bad habit".
