About this Gig
Misclassifying an employee as an independent contractor or failing to secure the rights to their work can cost your business thousands in IRS penalties and lost Intellectual Property. As a licensed US attorney (BAR ID 01584400), I draft rigorous Independent Contractor (1099) Agreements that establish clear legal boundaries and protect your companys assets.
When hiring freelancers, consultants, or temporary workers, you must secure the rights to the work you are paying for. My agreements explicitly outline the contractor relationship, ensuring compliance with labor laws.
Key elements included:
- Clear worker classification (Independent Contractor status).
- Payment and invoicing terms.
- Total Intellectual Property (IP) assignment to your company.
- Confidentiality and Non-Disclosure terms.
- Non-solicitation of your clients/employees (Premium).
Secure your company from rogue contractors, protect your trade secrets, and ensure you own the work you pay for. Select the package that fits your hiring needs, submit your requirements, and I will deliver a legally sound agreement ready for signature.

FAQ
Does this protect me from IRS misclassification?
The agreement includes mandatory clauses establishing independent status, which is the foundational legal step in defending against misclassification.
Will I own the rights to the contractor's work?
Yes, the Standard and Premium packages include "Work for Hire" and IP assignment clauses transferring all rights to your business.
Can you include a non-compete clause?
Yes, in the Premium package, though non-competes are subject to state laws. I will draft it to be as enforceable as legally possible in your state.
Is this for the company hiring, or the contractor?
I can draft this from either perspective. Simply state in the requirements whether you are the hiring company or the freelancer.
