Consultant & Independent Contractor Agreements - 11th Edition by Stephen Fishman (Paperback)

About the Book

Independent contractors can freelance with confidence and businesses can outsource without fear. This book explains how to establish an independent contractor relationship and provides easy-to-use sample contracts to document the relationship and avoid disputes.

Book Synopsis

Get Your Contract in Writing

With the rise of the gig economy, independent contractor
arrangements are more common than ever. 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:

- draft a
binding agreement

- define a
project's scope

- preserve
confidentiality

- distinguish
between employees and independent contractors

- 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 11th edition is completely updated to provide the
latest rules and regulations, and gives advice on how to address independent contractors' potential use of artificial intelligence.
