I will draft an ironclad independent contractor agreement
Licensed US Attorney, Bulletproof Contracts and Corporate Protection
About this Gig
Worker misclassification is heavily audited by the IRS and Department of Labor. If your independent contractor agreement isn't drafted correctly, you could be liable for massive back taxes, overtime pay, and benefits.
I am Steven Howard Josephs, a licensed US Attorney (Bar #86194). I draft ironclad 1099 Independent Contractor Agreements that definitively establish the contractor relationship, protecting you from misclassification penalties.
This agreement includes:
- Clear definition of independent contractor status (No W2 rights).
- Scope of work, deliverables, and payment terms.
- Intellectual Property (IP) assignment (Ensuring you own the work).
- Confidentiality and non-disclosure provisions.
- Indemnification and liability limitations.
Don't rely on online templates that fail to pass IRS scrutiny. Secure your business relationships legally and efficiently. Choose your package and order now.
