I will draft a 1099 independent contractor agreement for your business
Legally Sound Contracts for a Secure Business
As a licensed U.S. Attorney (BAR ID: 367719), I specialize in employment law and corporate contracts for American businesses. My focus is on drafting clear, comprehensive, and legally robust agreement...
About this Gig
Worker misclassification (W-2 vs. 1099) is the #1 reason small businesses face IRS and Department of Labor audits.
I am Kandy Traneice, a Licensed U.S. Attorney (Bar #367719). If you are hiring freelancers, consultants, or independent contractors, a standard employment contract is dangerous. You need a highly specific 1099 Independent Contractor Agreement to prove they are not employees.
Furthermore, without the right clauses, your contractor legally owns the work you paid them to create. I will draft a contract that shields you from misclassification penalties and secures your intellectual property.
Expertise Includes:
- 1099 Independent Contractor Agreements
- Scope of Work & Deliverables Framing
- Absolute Intellectual Property (IP) & Copyright Handover
- Confidentiality & Non-Circumvention
Don't rely on generic templates that the IRS will easily pierce during an audit. Secure a contract drafted by a licensed legal professional.

FAQ
What is the main risk of not having a proper contractor agreement?
The biggest risk is worker misclassification. If the IRS or Department of Labor determines your contractor should have been classified as an employee, you could be liable for back taxes, penalties, and employee benefits. A strong agreement is your first line of defense.
What's the difference between an employee and an independent contractor?
In simple terms, you control the what, when, and how for an employee. For a contractor, you only control the outcome or result of the work. This agreement is designed to legally document that distinction.
Why do I need to specify IP ownership?
By default, the creator of a work (the contractor) often owns the copyright. An IP clause in your agreement is essential to transfer ownership of the work product to your company upon payment. Without it, you may not own what you paid for.
Can I use this agreement for contractors outside the US?
This agreement is drafted primarily under US law. While it can provide a strong contractual basis for working with international contractors, their local laws would also apply, creating complexities. This gig is optimized for US-based business-contractor relationships.
Is this agreement better than the one on a freelance platform?
Yes. Platform agreements are designed to protect the platform first, and they are generic. A custom agreement drafted by an attorney is designed to protect you and your business first and is tailored to your specific project.
