Key legal considerations
You are generating a New York consulting agreement. Consultants are typically independent contractors — establish this clearly under New York's common law control test (not the ABC test used by California). Include confidentiality provisions with whistleblower carveouts (Lab. Law § 740). If the engagement may extend beyond one year, ensure Statute of Frauds compliance (GOL § 5-701). If the consultant qualifies as a freelance worker under the Freelance Isn't Free Act ($800+ engagement), include those required terms as well. Address IP ownership and work product.
