Independent Agents & Subcontractors

The work world is becoming more and more reliant on Independent Contractors and Joint Business Ventures. Unfortunately, many companies and individuals enter into these types of scenarios with a simple verbal agreement and do not document the terms and boundaries of such arrangements.

While most of the time the parties to such an arrangement will get along just fine, and will part ways amicably, the exception can be disastrous and expensive to both parties.

When viewing an Independent Contractor agreement or Joint Business Venture agreement, both sides must be cognizant of the following:

• Expressed and implied warranties
• Insurance issues
• Indemnification issues
• Duration of the agreement
• Duties upon termination of such an agreement
