Many employers choose to utilize independent contractors instead of employees. Independent contractors can offer a greater degree of flexibility for your business. However, an employer must be cautioned to structure the legal relationship correctly, otherwise the Courts or the Ministry of Labour may make a finding of an employment relationship, which would expose the employer to greater liability and potentially to legal damages.

 

We are Toronto employment lawyers who assist you by structuring and drafting independent contractor agreements and service agreements. We help mitigate and reduce your exposure to legal liability, and we help advise you on the best practices of managing independent contractors.
