About this Gig
Misclassifying an employee as an independent contractor can trigger devastating IRS penalties. Furthermore, if you hire a software developer or marketing agency without a strict IP Assignment clause, they legally own the work you paid for.
As a licensed US Attorney (Bar #007065), I draft airtight contracts that secure your intellectual property and protect your business from costly labor misclassification lawsuits.
Contract Types I Draft:
- Independent Contractor Agreements: Ensuring compliance with state and federal classification laws.
- Software Development Agreements: Securing source code ownership and defining bug-fix/warranty periods.
- Work For Hire & IP Assignments: Legally transferring all copyrights and trademarks to your business.
- Vendor & Agency Agreements: Master Services Agreements (MSAs) and Statements of Work (SOWs) for marketing and consulting.
- Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs): Protecting your trade secrets before you share your ideas.
Do not rely on copy-pasted Google templates. Secure your business assets properly. Select your package and order now.

FAQ
Does this contract prove they are a contractor, not an employee?
The contract establishes the legal intent and boundaries, which is step one in surviving an IRS or state labor audit.
What is a Work for Hire agreement?
Under US copyright law, it ensures that the work created by a freelancer automatically belongs to your company.
What is the difference between an MSA and an SOW?
The MSA governs the overarching legal relationship, while the SOW defines the specific project, timeline, and pricing.
Can I reuse these contract templates for multiple freelancers?
Yes, I will draft them as reusable templates with blank fields for future hires.
Are these contracts valid in all 50 states?
Yes, they are drafted according to general US common law, with specific state-jurisdiction clauses tailored to your location.
Do you draft non-compete clauses?
Yes, but note that the FTC and various states heavily restrict non-competes. I focus on enforceable non-solicitation and confidentiality clauses instead.
