    Need example contract for direct contract.

    I am possibly starting a new contract soon which will be direct, not though an agency. I have only ever contracted through agencies before. Does anyone have an example contract I could use between myself and the client? Or any ideas on where I could find one? Thanks

    Switch agencies mid contract

    its looking like the handcuff clauses might be an issue, the only option I can think of to get around that is to buy the contractors out of their current contract, but that creates other issues.
