I will draft a bulletproof US independent contractor agreement as a US attorney
Licensed US Attorney, Expert Corporate and Employment Law
About this Gig
The gig economy is booming, but employee misclassification is one of the most heavily audited areas by the IRS and Department of Labor. If your Independent Contractor Agreement isn't perfectly drafted, a contractor could legally claim employee benefits, overtime, and back taxes from your company.
As a Licensed US Attorney (Bar #123886), I draft ironclad 1099 Independent Contractor Agreements that clearly establish the independent nature of the working relationship, legally separating them from W-2 employees.
This contract will explicitly define:
- Independent Contractor Status (Protecting you from misclassification)
- Scope of Work and Compensation Terms
- Absolute Intellectual Property (IP) Ownership for your company
- Confidentiality and Non-Disclosure
- Indemnification and Limitation of Liability
Whether you are hiring a virtual assistant, a software developer, or a consultant, this document is non-negotiable. Review the packages and place your order directly to ensure your working relationships are legally sound.
