Helping staffing providers and contingent workforce programs move fast—without taking on more risk
Staffing and contingent workforce legal support
We advise staffing companies and organizations using contingent labor on the contracts, compliance, and operational guardrails that keep programs scalable. Typical matters include MSAs/SOWs, MSP/VMS terms, EoR/AoR engagement models, worker classification risk, and “bad day” readiness when disputes arise.
Contract Redlines & Negotiation
Tight, business-forward contract support for staffing MSAs, SOWs, rate cards, amendments, and client paper—focused on risk allocation, cashflow terms, and operational reality.
EoR & AoR Engagement Models
Clear “who controls what” contracting for Employer of Record, Agent of Record, and gig programs—scope, responsibilities, onboarding requirements, and protections that match the way the engagement actually runs.
Billing, Timesheets, & Cashflow
Payment terms, approval cadence, dispute timelines, pass-through costs, expenses, and audit language—so the program funds cleanly and predictably.
MSP & VMS Programs
Review and negotiation of MSP/VMS terms, client flow-down obligations, and vendor ecosystem contracts—without accepting obligations you can’t control.
Classification & Compliance
Practical guardrails for IC vs. employee risk, background checks/FCRA alignment, onboarding documentation, and multi-state compliance basics tailored to staffing operations.
Disputes, Claims, & Bad Days
Indemnity tenders, demand letters, worker/client disputes, insurance coordination, and documentation readiness—so issues are contained early and handled consistently.

On-Call Escalations: Rapid help for red-flag deals, incidents, worker issues, or urgent client demands
Outcomes matter
Faster closes. Cleaner onboarding. Fewer worker issues and client escalations. Agreements that match how staffing actually works—and risk positions leadership can operate.
