About this Gig
Hiring a subcontractor or independent contractor? The biggest risk is misclassification. Protect your business from liability with a proper Subcontractor Agreement.
A poorly defined relationship can lead to tax penalties, legal disputes, and claims of employment. I will draft a precise Independent Contractor or Subcontractor Agreement that clearly establishes the nature of your working relationship and protects your interests.
This is essential for:
- Prime contractors hiring specialty subcontractors.
- Agencies bringing on freelance talent for a project.
- Businesses engaging consultants for specific tasks.
Your Agreement Will Clearly Define:
- Independent Contractor Status: Crucial language to distinguish from an employee relationship.
- Scope of Work: Detailing the specific tasks delegated to the subcontractor.
- Flow-Down Clauses: Ensuring the subcontractor is bound by relevant terms from your main client contract.
- Payment & Invoicing: "Pay-when-paid" clauses and other payment structures.
- Work for Hire / IP: Clarifying ownership of work created by the subcontractor.
Don't leave this to chance. A solid contract is non-negotiable.

FAQ
Why is the "Independent Contractor Status" clause so important?
This clause is critical to defend against a worker being misclassified as an employee, which can lead to significant liabilities for back taxes, benefits, and penalties. The agreement helps demonstrate the worker's independence.
What are "flow-down" or "pass-through" clauses?
These are clauses that require your subcontractor to adhere to the same terms and conditions that you are bound to in your main contract with your client. This is essential for consistency and risk management.
What's the difference between a subcontractor and an employee?
Generally, you control the result of a subcontractor's work, but not how they do it. An employee's work is directly controlled by the employer. This agreement is designed to document and reinforce the former relationship.
Does this include a non-compete clause?
We can include a non-compete or non-solicitation clause, but their enforceability varies widely by jurisdiction. We will draft it to be as reasonable and enforceable as possible. This is typically part of the Standard and Premium packages.
My subcontractor is in a different country. Will this work?
Yes, we can draft the agreement to accommodate international relationships by specifying the governing law and how disputes will be handled across borders, providing clarity for both parties.
