I will draft a protective startup consultant agreement for your business
Licensed US Attorney : Elite Legal Counsel for Startups and Venture Capital
À propos de ce service
Hiring external consultants is a great way to scale your startup quickly, but misclassifying workers or failing to secure Intellectual Property rights can lead to devastating lawsuits and IRS penalties.
As a licensed U.S. attorney, I draft airtight Startup Consultant Agreements (Independent Contractor Agreements) that ensure you own everything you pay for and are protected from employment liability.
This Legal Agreement Includes:
- Worker Classification: Strict legal language establishing the consultant as an independent contractor, not an employee.
- Work-for-Hire / IP Assignment: Ensures your startup legally owns 100% of the code, designs, or strategies the consultant creates.
- Statement of Work (SOW) Framework: Clear legal structure for deliverables, timelines, and payment milestones.
- Non-Solicitation: Prevents the consultant from poaching your employees or clients.
- Indemnification: Protects your startup if the consultant infringes on third-party rights.

FAQ
Does this agreement ensure I own the intellectual property?
Absolutely. I draft robust "Work-for-Hire" and broad IP assignment clauses so your startup legally owns all deliverables and creations.
Can we include a non-compete clause?
Yes, I can include non-compete and non-solicitation clauses. However, I will tailor them to ensure they comply with the specific laws of your jurisdiction, as some states strictly limit non-competes.
Does this protect me from IRS misclassification?
Yes, the agreement is drafted to clearly define the relationship as an Independent Contractor (1099), including clauses regarding taxes, benefits, and autonomy to mitigate misclassification risks.
