Employment Contracts and Independent Contractor Agreements
Most employment arrangements in Texas are " at-will," meaning a worker can be terminated for almost any reason or for no reason at all, and the worker similarly is free to quit at any time. Many companies use contracts instead of at-will relationships. We provide in-depth legal advice and counsel on the preparation of professional and non-professional employment contracts, as well as independent consultant and independent contractor agreements, including contracts for health care professionals and construction personnel.
