Licensed US Attorney Ironclad Contracts to Protect Your Business Revenue
About this Gig
Hiring a contractor without a formal agreement is a massive legal liability. As a licensed US Attorney (Bar #355226), I provide Independent Contractor (IC) Agreements designed to clearly distinguish contractors from employees, protecting you from IRS audits, tax penalties, and labor disputes.
In a globalized remote work environment, a standard template isn't enough. You need an agreement that secures your companys trade secrets and ensures that you own 100% of the work product.
Key Provisions Included:
- Employee vs. Contractor Status: Drafted to satisfy the legal criteria for IC classification.
- Intellectual Property (IP): Work-for-Hire clauses to ensure you own all assets created.
- Confidentiality & NDA: Robust provisions to protect your proprietary business info.
- Non-Solicitation: Prevents contractors from poaching your clients or employees.
- Indemnification: Shifts the risk of contractor errors or negligence away from your business.
- Termination: Clear protocols for ending the relationship without legal friction.
I deliver professional, enforceable documents tailored to US law. Secure your business today.
