What are liabilities in a contractor agreement?

I am a small business owner who recently hired an independent contractor to help with my business operations. I am in the process of creating a contractor agreement and wanted to ensure that I am adequately protecting myself from potential liabilities. I am looking for advice on what liabilities I should include in the agreement.

This is a complicated question and you should get help drafting a solid contractor on the front end to help safeguard your business against numerous liabilities. Examples include contractor negligence, subpar work, IP ownership, confidentiality and many more. Let me know if you have any other questions!
