Sub-Contractor Agreements
Why Do You Need a Sub-Contractor Agreement Solicitor?
Working with sub-contractors is common across construction, technology, design, and service-based industries, but informal agreements can lead to serious legal and financial exposure. A well-drafted sub-contractor agreement protects your business, defines responsibilities clearly, and minimises the risk of future disputes.
At LegaFit Solicitors, we draft, review, and negotiate robust agreements that help you confidently manage sub-contractor relationships. We work with businesses, contractors, and consultants across a range of industries to ensure their contracts are legally compliant, commercially fair, and strategically sound.
We regularly advise clients on issues such as:
- Scope of services and performance standards
- Payment terms and invoicing requirements
- Dispute resolution and liability allocation
- IP ownership and confidentiality clauses
- Termination rights and notice periods
- Compliance with employment and tax laws
- Flow-down provisions and insurance requirements
