Independent Contractor Agreement

An Independent Contractor Agreement defines engagement terms for non-employee service providers. This playbook guides drafting on scope of work, ownership of deliverables, and classification risk mitigation.

Compliance & Policies

Why This Matters: Ensuring regulatory compliance reduces the risk of fines, reputational harm, and contract termination due to policy breaches.

Negotiation strategy

If you're the Company:

Ensure all compliance clauses are comprehensive and reflect the latest legal standards. Tailor clauses to specific industry and jurisdictional requirements.

If you're the Contractor:

Review compliance obligations carefully to ensure they are feasible and align with your operational capabilities. Negotiate for clarity and mutual responsibility.
