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.
Disputes, Claims, & Bad Days
Indemnity tenders, demand letters, worker/client disputes, insurance coordination, and documentation readiness, so issues are contained early and handled consistently.
