Contract guides
Ten clauses every independent contractor agreement should have — and what US law says happens when each one is missing. Covers IP ownership, payment terms, IC classification, liability caps, and the governing-law clause most people leave blank.
NDAsWhen an NDA actually helps, when it gives false confidence, and what the federal DTSA whistleblower notice means for your agreement. Includes what to look for in any NDA before you sign.
IC ClassificationThe IRS three-factor test, California's ABC test, and what your contract needs to say to document IC status correctly. Misclassification can trigger retroactive tax liability and benefit claims — here is what to put in writing.
