Freelance Subcontractor Agreement (Freelancer Engaging Another Freelancer)
About this document
As freelancers grow, they often bring in other freelancers to help with larger projects. You remain responsible to your client, so you need the subcontractor to accept the same standards and confidentiality, assign their intellectual property so you can pass it on, and not go behind your back to the client. This agreement does that fairly.
The document is laid out in the sections below. Each one comes with a plain-English guidance note explaining what it does and what to change.
Our templates are professionally structured starting points for UK businesses, not legal advice. For anything complex, unusual or high-value, have your final version checked by a solicitor.
