Licensed US Attorney our Partner in Business Legal Protection
About this Gig
Hiring is a critical investment. Protect that investment and your company with a clear, compliant, and professional Employment Agreement. Ambiguity leads to disputes, and this is where you set the foundation for a successful employment relationship.
As a licensed US attorney (Bar #329621), I will draft an agreement that protects your company's interests while being fair and transparent to your new hire.
Depending on the package, your custom agreement can include:
- Job Title, Duties, and Responsibilities
- Compensation, Bonuses, and Benefits
- "At-Will" Employment Status
- Confidentiality and Non-Disclosure (NDA)
- Assignment of Intellectual Property (Work for Hire)
- Non-Compete and Non-Solicitation Clauses (State compliance considered)
- Termination and Severance
Don't rely on verbal agreements or weak templates. A professionally drafted contract minimizes risk, establishes clear expectations, and demonstrates your company's professionalism from day one. All communication is managed through Fiverr messages for efficiency.

FAQ
What's the difference between an offer letter and an employment contract?
A simple offer letter typically confirms basic terms for an at-will employee. A more detailed contract includes binding protective clauses like confidentiality, IP assignment, and non-compete, offering the company greater legal protection.
Is this based on US law? What about my specific state?
Yes, all documents are drafted based on US federal law. For clauses like non-competes, which are heavily state-regulated, I draft them with enforceability and your specific state's laws in mind.
Why is the "Assignment of Intellectual Property" clause so important?
This clause ensures that any work, ideas, or inventions your employee creates for the company legally belong to the company, not the employee. It is critical for tech, creative, and innovation-driven businesses.
Do I really need a contract for every employee?
While a detailed contract isn't always necessary for every role, it is highly recommended for key personnel, sales roles, executives, and anyone who will have access to confidential information or be creating intellectual property.
What information will you need from me?
You'll need to provide the employee's role, job duties, compensation details, and any specific terms you want included. The order requirements will guide you through this process step-by-step.
