I will write legally binding subcontractor agreements by a US attorney
Licensed US Attorney Ironclad Construction and Business Contracts
About this Gig
Welcome. I am Dori Kay Rybacki, a Licensed US Attorney (Bar #158951). The relationship between a General Contractor and a Subcontractor carries immense legal risk. If your subcontractor damages property, gets injured, or walks off the job, you could be held liable.
I draft ironclad Subcontractor Agreements designed to shift liability away from the GC and ensure the subcontractor is legally bound to perform.
Key provisions I include:
- Independent Contractor Classification (Tax/Labor protection)
- "Flow-Down" Clauses (Binding subs to the prime contract)
- "Pay-When-Paid" or "Pay-If-Paid" Clauses
- Strict Insurance and Bonding Requirements
- Hold Harmless & Indemnification Agreements
- Safety Compliance Requirements
- Warranty of Workmanship
Do not risk your general contracting business on a handshake or a downloaded PDF. You need precise legal drafting to ensure your subcontractors deliver on time and assume their own legal liabilities.

FAQ
What is a flow-down clause?
It ensures that the subcontractor is bound to you by the exact same terms and obligations that you are bound to the property owner.
Will this contract prove they are not my employee?
Yes, I include robust Independent Contractor clauses to protect you from misclassification, tax, and workers' comp liabilities.
Can I reuse the Premium Master Agreement?
Yes. The Premium package acts as a Master Agreement. You sign it once, and then simply issue short "Work Orders" for future projects.
Does this protect me if the sub's work is defective?
Absolutely. I draft strong warranty and indemnification clauses, making the sub financially responsible for fixing their defective work.
What if the property owner delays my payment?
I can include "Pay-When-Paid" clauses to ensure you are not legally obligated to pay the sub until the owner pays you.
