About this Gig
Avoid misclassification and protect your Intellectual Property with a custom Independent Contractor Agreement.
Hiring freelancers and contractors is great for business, but using the wrong contract can lead to devastating IRS penalties for worker misclassification, or worselosing the rights to the work you paid for.
As Attorney Barbara Demby Abrams (Bar #14905), I draft ironclad agreements that clearly define the working relationship, ensuring your contractors do not accidentally gain employee rights while permanently securing your ownership over their deliverables.
Key elements included:
- Clear Status Definition: Strictly defining the relationship as 1099/Contractor to prevent tax liability.
- Intellectual Property (IP) Transfer: Ensuring you 100% own the work they create for you.
- Confidentiality & NDA: Protecting your trade secrets and client lists.
- Payment & Scope: Detailed terms to prevent scope creep and invoice disputes.

FAQ
Does this contract protect me from the contractor stealing my clients?
Yes, the Standard and Premium packages include non-solicitation and confidentiality clauses to prevent contractors from poaching your clients.
Will this guarantee I own the copyright to the work they produce?
Absolutely. I draft strong "Work for Hire" and intellectual property assignment clauses to ensure you own everything you pay for.
How does this prevent them from being classified as an employee?
I include specific legal language outlining their control over their work, tax responsibilities, and lack of employee benefits, which are key factors in IRS classification.
Can I reuse this template for future contractors?
Yes, especially if you purchase the Premium MSA package, which is designed to be easily reused for multiple freelancers by simply attaching a new Statement of Work.
What industries do you write these for?
I write contractor agreements for all industries, including software development, marketing agencies, virtual assistants, design, and consulting.
