Independent Contractor Agreement
$279 Flat Fee - 48 to 72-Hour Turnaround
Engage 1099 contractors with confidence. Florida attorney-drafted agreements that establish proper classification and protect your business.
Get StartedWhat You Get
Hiring a 1099 contractor without a properly drafted agreement is one of the most common and most expensive mistakes a Florida business can make. A handshake or a one-page template downloaded from the internet does not protect your intellectual property, your customer relationships, or your tax position. It also does not establish the worker control factors that the IRS, the Department of Labor, and Florida agencies use to evaluate classification.
Our flat-fee Independent Contractor Agreement is drafted by a licensed Florida attorney and tailored to your engagement. It documents the parties' intent, allocates ownership of work product, secures your confidential information, and reduces the risk of misclassification. You get a clean, execution-ready document in Word and PDF for a flat fee of $279.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is an Independent Contractor Agreement different from a Service Agreement or NDA?
A Service Agreement is generally a B2B engagement between two businesses for ongoing or project services. A Non-Disclosure Agreement only protects confidential information. An Independent Contractor Agreement is specifically designed to engage a 1099 contractor as a non-employee, with provisions that establish IRS-compliant classification, allocate tax responsibility, address worker control factors, assign work product, and include the confidentiality and restrictive covenant terms typical for individual engagements.
Why does worker classification matter?
Misclassifying an employee as an independent contractor can expose your business to back taxes, penalties under IRS rules, FLSA wage claims, and Florida unemployment and workers' compensation liability. A properly drafted Independent Contractor Agreement documents the parties' intent, control factors, and economic realities that support 1099 status. The agreement is one piece of the classification analysis but a critical one.
Does the agreement include a non-compete clause?
By default we include reasonable confidentiality and customer/employee non-solicitation provisions. We can include a tailored non-compete where appropriate, drafted to be enforceable under Fla. Stat. §542.335. We tailor scope, geography, and duration to the engagement and counsel you on enforceability before finalizing.
Who owns the work product?
By default, the hiring party owns all work product through a combination of work-for-hire language and a present-tense IP assignment. If you want the contractor to retain ownership and grant you a license, or you want a custom split, we will draft accordingly.
Can you draft an ICA for use outside Florida?
Yes. We draft agreements with the governing law you select. We are licensed in Florida and Illinois; for engagements with significant ties to other states, we may flag jurisdiction-specific issues or recommend local counsel review through our referral network at no referral cost to you.
