Services/Contracts
Contractor Agreement Drafting.
A contractor agreement that assigns IP, sets clear scope, and avoids sham-contracting risk.
Overview
Loose contractor arrangements are the number-one source of IP disputes and Fair Work claims we see. We draft a contractor agreement that protects your IP, limits your liability, and makes the relationship genuinely one of principal-and-contractor.

FAQs
Questions we hear often.
- Employee vs contractor — which is this?
- This is a contractor agreement. If the person looks and acts like an employee, no paperwork fixes that. We flag risk on the brief.
- Does it cover overseas contractors?
- Australian-law base agreement. For non-Australian contractors we can add jurisdiction-specific IP mechanics — quoted separately.
