Description

The International Independent Contractor Agreement serves to formalize the relationship between a contractor and a corporation, outlining essential terms of work engagement. Key features include ownership of deliverables, compensation details, and the delineation of responsibilities between both parties. The agreement stipulates that all work produced is regarded as 'work made for hire' and becomes the property of the corporation. Importantly, it clarifies the independent status of the contractor, confirming that they are not an employee and thus responsible for their own actions and liabilities. The form also includes clauses ensuring compliance with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and addresses nondiscrimination standards. For attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants, this agreement is a critical tool to mitigate legal risk, ensure compliance with applicable laws, and clearly define expectations. Specific use cases may include the need to solicit international services or manage contractors performing tasks across different jurisdictions, making an understanding of this form vital for legal practice in these contexts.
