Outside Chief Legal LLC

A contractor who started out independent but now works your schedule, uses your equipment, and takes direction from your team may not be a contractor anymore, no matter what the paperwork says. When did you last review how your contractor relationships actually work day to day?

A single employment dispute can turn on missing paperwork. No offer letter. No signed handbook acknowledgment. No dated performance notes. No disciplinary history. No clear termination file. Each missing piece weakens your position.
