About this Gig
Paying an independent contractor, agency, or software developer does not automatically give you ownership of their work under U.S. copyright law. Without an express written assignment containing precise legal language, the contractor maintains ownership of the underlying IP.
I am Lawrence Joseph Fallon, a licensed U.S. attorney (Bar No. #165764). I draft commercial agreements that protect your company's proprietary technology, eliminate worker misclassification exposure, and define enforceable deliverables.
What My Contracts Cover:
Absolute IP Ownership: Comprehensive "Work-Made-For-Hire" provisions and explicit, present-tense IP assignments.
Worker Classification Safeguards: Protective language clarifying independent contractor status to limit IRS audit risk.
Commercial Safeguards: Clearly defined Statements of Work (SOW), milestone acceptance testing, and liability limits.
Restrictive Covenants: Strict confidentiality, non-solicitation, and non-circumvention provisions.
Retain full control over your technology, code, and trade secrets. Choose attorney-drafted contracts. Order today to protect your commercial operations.

FAQ
If I pay a software developer, don't I own the source code automatically?
No. Under U.S. Copyright law, independent contractors retain default copyright ownership of everything they build unless there is a signed written agreement with explicit "work-made-for-hire" and present-assignment IP transfer language.
Can this agreement be used for offshore or overseas contractors?
Yes. I draft contracts with enforceable U.S. governing law, forum-selection clauses, and international IP assignment protections that apply regardless of contractor location.
How does this contract minimize employee misclassification risks?
The agreement structures key operational factors—such as autonomy, control of tools, and tax responsibilities—to support independent contractor status under IRS and Department of Labor guidelines.
Is this a one-time use agreement or a reusable template?
All contracts are structured as clean, modular frameworks with editable Statement of Work (SOW) fields, allowing you to deploy them across multiple contractors and vendors.
What is the difference between an NDA and a Contractor Agreement?
An NDA solely protects confidential information and trade secrets from unauthorized disclosure. A Contractor Agreement governs the entire working relationship, payment terms, deliverables, warranties, and intellectual property transfers.
