Stevens & Associates assists independent contractors in understanding their workplace rights and responsibilities. Whether you need advice or are going through a difficult time, our team will ensure you successfully navigate available options to make informed decisions with our team’s support.
As an independent contractor, it’s vital to understand your rights and responsibilities. While there are many benefits to contracting, without the same protections as an employee, it can be difficult to negotiate on your own behalf. Our team of employment law specialists will equip you with knowledge to make informed decisions. We can help you to negotiate contracts that are beneficial to you, as well as represent you if a breach of contract has occurred.
We understand the nuances of employment law, and can help you to identify the status of your engagement, as there is often crossover with that of an employee. We are also able to help you to avoid sham contracts, and understand the terms of any contract you are asked to sign. As well as the dedicated expertise of our team of specialists lawyers, you’ll also have direct access to the experience of our Director, Nick Stevens.
"I really admire your work ethics and values and will most certainly recommend you and your practice to anyone who needs employment law assistance."
