I will draft a legally binding independent contractor agreement
Licensed US Attorney: Premium Business Contracts and Agreements
About this Gig
Worker misclassification (W-2 vs. 1099) is one of the most common and expensive legal mistakes a business can make. As a licensed U.S. Attorney (Bar #45211), I protect companies by drafting legally compliant Independent Contractor Agreements.
If you are hiring remote workers, virtual assistants, or specialized 1099 talent, you need a contract that explicitly defines their status to shield you from tax penalties and employment lawsuits.
I will draft a comprehensive agreement including:
- Explicit independent contractor status declaration
- Ownership of "Work Made for Hire" and IP assignment
- Protection of your company's confidential information
- Tax responsibility acknowledgments
- Equipment and expense guidelines
Ensure your hiring practices are legally sound. Choose the package that fits your needs, submit your hiring details through the order page, and secure your business operations with a professional attorney-drafted contract.

FAQ
Will this protect me from worker misclassification penalties?
The agreement will include mandatory clauses establishing independent contractor status, which is a vital first step in preventing misclassification issues.
Does this ensure I own the work the contractor creates?
Yes, the Standard and Premium packages include "Work Made for Hire" and IP assignment clauses so your business retains full ownership of the output.
Can you include a non-compete clause?
Yes, in the Premium package. However, non-competes must comply with specific state laws, which I will review and draft accordingly based on your location.
