General Independent Contractor Agreement

It's not uncommon to have a rotating roster of independent contractors in your business. From virtual assistants to copywriters to designers, you've always got more than one pair of hands in the pot. And your business is better for it! There's a good chance your contractors have an agreement of their own (in fact, if they don't–red flag!). Having a template like this in your entrepreneurship arsenal is a good move to solidify your partnership, what you expect from each other, and all the other details you'll want to know in a creative partnership. You'll also want to clearly define that your independent contractor is just that–an independent contractor. In other words, unlike regular employees, independent contractors are expected to set aside their own money for taxes. You're not on the hook to provide them with benefits, either.

Designed specifically for your business, these detailed blueprints can be customized to fit your needs with just a few minor tweaks.
Free of confusing jargon and unnecessary legal language, Magi's documents are straightforward and easy to follow for both you and your clients.
No need to worry about legal documentation ever again. These agreements serve your business for life with access to the latest version whenever you need it.

Honestly, this was the only thing on the web that gave straight forward no nonsense advice and wasn't just a click funnel to get you to hand over an email or walk you into a consultation. It inspired confidence in doing the Trademark process and gives you all the tools you need. In full transparency, I ended up hiring East and Bay to file for me... but that had more to do with a sense of urgency. If I had more time on my hands, I could have absolutely filed it myself using just the guide. Buy it, its a small investment in a mountain of no-nonsense advice.
When it comes to social media, you HAVE to have a contract in place. Things can go wrong quick. Maggie has created the PERFECT Freelancer Contract to make sure I am protected, as well as my client. I am so HAPPY.
I cannot believe it's taken me this long to actual invest into my business. This contract is hands-down something I should have purchased upon starting my business and can't believe it's taken me years to implement this into my daily life. It's incredibly well-written, has so many wonderful clauses that help protect me and my small business. I thought I had a well-written contract until I purchased the Wedding Florist Contract and truly realized how unprotected I've been over the years. Please invest into your business and it starts here. You will not regret the purchase!
There is absolutely no reason why you shouldn't buy this contract as a designer!
Since I started to use Magi's contracts, I am 100% more confident in my craft and this is by far the most robust contract template I've ever seen! Design projects can be tricky, but this contract helps you lay down the foundation for it before you even start. I love how easy it is to customize to your needs even as a creative and if you struggle to communicate your boundaries over and over again with your clients, you won't have that problem anymore. Magi's Contracts Are Simply The Best!
Like many people, our contracts were created years ago and had not received much attention as our business grew. So much had changed that we were not properly addressing or even protecting ourselves fully. Magi's template was a huge improvement and gave us tremendous peace of mind moving forward knowing that we were properly protected legally. I would highly recommend utilizing the template contract, or custom work with Magi and her team. She is a fantastic person to work with, and I'm thankful to have her positive impact on our business as we look to the future.
These contracts are gold. So simple and walk you through all the variables you should consider. I was able to easily integrate this contract in to my workflow and get it up and running in no time, all while trusting I am protected by the verbiage.
I have no problem opening the document from a hyperlink inside of the PDF doc!
This contract is very thorough. There's things in here I didn't even think of, and it's also easily customizable!
I recently purchased the Freelancer Contract when I was last-minute/unexpectedly offered a bookkeeping 43, virtual assistant position with a nonprofit. The template was incredibly easy to purchase and use and I was able to quickly and professionally get something over to the client for review. The contract was even reviewed by a corporate lawyer on the nonprofit board and they had very few questions and edits. They said it was a very thorough and good contract overall. Well worth the investment - will be back with future contract needs for sure!
So thrilled Magi offers the third party payor clause. I recently purchased it after a client asked if their parents could be listed on our contract. It was super easy to insert into my contract, and clients had no further questions. Thanks, Magi!
As we're starting to grow our team, one of the first things I thought of was a contract. The Artists Lawyer came highly recommended and after purchasing this contract, I can see why! It is SO thorough, covering things I didn't even think about. It's super easy to edit too, so you can tailor it to your business model.
Love how thorough these contracts out so that there is no question as to roles played and responsibilities.
Contracts from The Artists' Lawyer always strike the perfect balance between the business owner and the human they are on the inside. As one who has to tap into my creativity every day to operate my business–and therefore my humanity–Magi's contract templates find a way to seamlessly blend the two. I love how this contract builds in boundaries that protect my artistry, as well as the professional boundaries I've implemented to protect my energy at large. Magi has also included everything else necessary to protect my business in this contract–the kinds of things I wouldn't think to include myself (probably because I didn't go to law school). Having this contract in my corner allows me to go after my most ambitious aspirations with confidence–all because Magi thought of everything. The best part? The contract terms are easy to understand without having to pass the bar exam. If you're on the fence, there's no need to hesitate any longer–only good things come from The Artists' Lawyer!
