I will draft an enforceable independent contractor agreement and 1099 contract
Licensed US Attorney, Ironclad Contracts, Bulletproof Business Legal Protection
About this Gig
Misclassifying an independent contractor can result in severe tax penalties, wage claims, and intellectual property loss.
I am Milan Frank Vacek, a licensed US Attorney (Bar #97922). I draft specialized Independent Contractor Agreements that satisfy regulatory classification criteria while securing complete ownership of deliverables.
Core protections built into every draft:
- Strict 1099 Classification: Concrete language defining behavioral, operational, and financial control to defend against employee misclassification claims.
- Ironclad IP & Work-Made-For-Hire: Complete transfer of all copyrights, patents, and work products upon payment.
- Non-Disclosure & Trade Secrets: Guard proprietary data, client lists, and internal processes.
- Non-Solicitation Protections: Prevent contractors from poaching your employees, clients, or partners.
- Tax & Benefit Disclaimers: Explicit waiver of employee benefits, healthcare, workers' compensation, and tax withholdings.
- Termination at Will: Swift offboarding rights with zero severance obligations.

FAQ
How does this contract protect me against worker misclassification?
It includes explicit clauses documenting the contractor's operational autonomy, tool ownership, tax responsibilities, and non-exclusivity to satisfy IRS, state, and common-law classification tests.
Will I own all intellectual property created by the contractor?
Yes. The agreement includes comprehensive "work made for hire" and broad IP assignment clauses ensuring you own all deliverables, source files, and inventions.
Can I enforce a non-compete clause against an independent contractor?
Non-competes for 1099 contractors often trigger misclassification risks or face local statutory bans. I draft aggressive non-solicitation and confidentiality clauses that provide practical protection without legal invalidation.
Can I use this for international contractors?
Yes. I structure cross-border clauses ensuring local compliance, clear US-based governing law, and worldwide intellectual property assignments.
Does this agreement include a Statement of Work (SOW)?
The Standard and Premium packages include a modular Statement of Work format so you can onboard contractors for new projects without rewriting the master contract.
Are revisions included?
Yes. All tiers come with revision rounds to tailor each clause to your operations.
