I will draft a foolproof independent contractor or freelancer agreement
Licensed US Attorney, Expert Corporate and Employment Law
About this Gig
Worker misclassification is one of the highest legal risks for businesses today. If the IRS or Department of Labor classifies your freelancer as an employee, you could face massive penalties, back taxes, and lawsuits.
As a licensed US Attorney (Bar #323316), I will draft a rock-solid Independent Contractor (1099) Agreement that clearly establishes the workers independent status, protecting you from misclassification claims. Furthermore, without a proper agreement, freelancers legally own the copyright to the work they create for you. I ensure 100% of the Intellectual Property (IP) transfers to your business.
This agreement includes:
- Clear independent contractor status (tax & liability protection).
- Detailed scope of work and payment terms.
- Complete Intellectual Property (IP) and copyright assignment.
- Confidentiality (NDA) and Non-solicitation clauses.
- Termination conditions.
Secure your assets and maintain total compliance. Order today to receive a professionally drafted, attorney-approved contractor agreement.
