Consultant & Independent Contractor Agreements

Get Your Contract in Writing

Whether you're an independent contractor or a business hiring one to work for you, a written agreement will help to protect your rights, define expectations, and prove that there's no employer-employee relationship.
Included are customizable agreements for independent contractors and freelancers in a multitude of fields, such as sales, accounting, software consulting, and construction. Along with the agreements, you'll find detailed instructions on how to:
- distinguish between employees and independent contractors
- draft a binding agreement
- define a project's scope
- craft guidelines on the use of AI tools
- preserve confidentiality
- protect your intellectual property
- amend your agreement, and
- satisfy IRS requirements.
Each chapter has two agreements--one geared towards the independent contractor and one geared towards the business
hiring an independent contractor.
The 12th edition is completely updated to provide the latest rules and regulations, and gives advice on how to address independent contractors' potential use of AI.
