Key point 1
A contractor agreement should explain scope, payment, deadlines, revisions, confidentiality, IP ownership, termination, expenses, dispute process, and tax responsibility.
Key point 2
Templates can work for straightforward projects, but lawyer review is safer when the contractor creates valuable IP, handles sensitive data, manages clients, or works across borders.
Key point 3
Clarify deliverables before work starts. Vague scope creates disputes.

- Compare self-help, online provider, and lawyer routes based on risk.
- Do not sign, pay, admit, or miss deadlines without understanding the consequence.
