I will draft an IT consultant independent contractor agreement
Licensed US Attorney, Software, Data Privacy and Cyber Law Expert
About this Gig
Protect your technology and your business from employment disputes.
Hiring an IT consultant, software developer, or tech freelancer without an ironclad Independent Contractor Agreement is a massive legal risk. Without the right contract, you risk losing ownership of your Intellectual Property (IP) and facing severe tax penalties for worker misclassification.
As a licensed U.S. attorney (Bar #1075034), I draft bulletproof IT consulting agreements that clearly establish the contractor relationship and fully protect your digital assets.
Your Custom Agreement Will Include:
- Clear 1099 Classification: Protecting you from employee misclassification lawsuits.
- Strict IP Assignment: Ensuring your company 100% owns the code and technology created.
- Confidentiality & Data Security: Mandating the protection of your sensitive systems.
- Deliverables & Payment Terms: Preventing scope creep and payment disputes.
Protect your business with a premium legal contract. Message me your project details today, and I will deliver your custom agreement.
