Every business relationship should be governed by a clear, enforceable contract. Whether you are contracting with customers, vendors, independent contractors, or joint venture partners, a well-drafted agreement protects your interests and minimizes the risk of disputes. We draft and review all types of employer-side business contracts for Utah businesses.
Independent Contractor Agreements
Properly classifying workers as independent contractors (rather than employees) requires meeting specific legal tests under federal and state law. Misclassification can result in back taxes, penalties, and employee benefit claims. We draft independent contractor agreements that reflect the actual working relationship and include the protections your business needs.
Confidentiality and Trade Secret Agreements
Employees and contractors often have access to proprietary information, client lists, pricing data, and trade secrets. Properly drafted confidentiality agreements protect this information after the relationship ends. Utah's Trade Secrets Act provides additional protections for qualifying trade secrets.
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes an independent contractor agreement enforceable?
The agreement must accurately reflect the actual working relationship — behavioral control, financial control, and relationship type. A contract that says "independent contractor" but describes an employee relationship will not protect against misclassification claims. We align the contract with the actual relationship and advise on maintaining proper IC status.
