How do we get this for California? Is the Freelance job litigated on where the Freelancer is physically located, or where the client is located?

It's where the tort giving rise to the suit happened, a question which is complicated and lawyer-worthy if this ever comes up. Most MSAs will have both parties stipulate to the jurisdiction of a particular county's courts; generally, the party supplying the MSA picks their local court system because it's cheaper to access, known to them, and has the home-field advantage.
