Legal Question in Business Law in New York
Service Agreement
I downloaded the consulting agreement
from findlegalforms. I need an
agreement for the State of NY for I was
asked to include the following language
in an agreeement by my client. Is there
a better form to use? Please note I'm
forming an LLC.
1. The agreement does not
address whether or my company
has errors and omission coverage/
professional liability to cover client in
the event client desires to seek
recourse.
2. A consulting
agreement is needed because it would
state that my company is a complete
and �independent contractor� and that
it pays it�s own taxes, has its own
worker�s comp policy if necessary and
will indemnify and hold Buzz harmless
against any such employment tax and
practice claims that may arise as a
result of my company working for
client.
How would I add/revise the language in
the findlegalforms consulting
agreement?

Re: Service Agreement
forming an LLC and the associated tasks are very difficult and you should have an attorney to ensure that your company is formed properly, as well as all legal requirements are met. I, or any other reputable attorney, will not answer your question because we can not see the form youre talking about, dont know your intentions, and are not clear of what youre asking for.

Re: Service Agreement
If you want to do this right, there are no short cuts. Your question barely makes sense.
You should retain an attorney, sit down or speak on the phone, explain what the situation is and have the appropriate documents drafted.
Re: Service Agreement
You need to re-type the agreement in the entirety and add in any terms that you would like or that your client insists on having.
You should have an attorney review any form in which your client is asking you to insert language, as you do not want to waive any of your rights inadvertantly.
I am a small business attorney and have created consulting agreements like these before, customized to my clients' needs. Please contact me if you would like me to draft a complete agreement for your business.
Re: Service Agreement PS
I wanted to add a post script: a form is only that. It is a generic document that is meant to be customized. You cannot expect to form an LLC,
successfully compose an indemnification agreement, and add your company as an additional insured on an insurance policy, all in one form.
Especially without being able to see the form you are referring to, it is difficult to be more specific.
It sounds as though you need to obtain an insurance policy and prepare a consulting agreement with an indemnity clause, and specific clauses detailing who is responsible for what.
You can obtain an insurance policy with an additional insured provision,(rider) and indmniity/ other contracts coverage; plus worker's comp.
