The Short Independent Contractor Agreement is designed for businesses operating in Ireland who need to engage external service providers on a contractor basis. This document is particularly valuable for projects requiring specialized skills or temporary expertise, where a full employment relationship is not intended or appropriate. The agreement addresses key requirements under Irish law, including clear contractor status definition, GDPR compliance, and necessary protections for both parties. It's structured to be more concise than traditional contractor agreements while still covering essential legal and commercial terms. Typically used for engagements ranging from several months to a year, this agreement is suitable for both one-off projects and ongoing professional services, providing a balanced framework that protects both the client's interests and the contractor's independent status.
