Technical Writing Contract

Technical writers and clients use Technical Writing Contracts as a means of documenting the details of technical writing work to be delivered. Making this essential document may lower the risk of disagreements down the road. Not just a generic template, any Technical Writing Agreement under an active Rocket Lawyer Premium membership also comes with optional access to Document Defense^® to help enforce your rights.

Even if you are being contracted by a friend, it is always a best practice to sign a Technical Writing Contract. The benefits outlined below may help to inform your decision to use one:

• The length of the engagement is established
• Both parties understand the scope of their responsibilities
• Both parties know when invoicing will happen

Any technical writer deciding against making a Technical Writing Agreement, in many cases, should anticipate some issues, including overdue invoices and unrealistic requests.

To complete your Technical Writing Contract online, you will need the following:

• The name and address of your client
• What specific tasks you will be doing once hired
• Whether the work will be ongoing or if it will last for a predetermined period of time
• What fees will be charged and when

As you might hope, Technical Writing Contracts that you build with Rocket Lawyer also contain the standard legal language with regard to the non-employer relationship, reimbursement for losses, and lastly, dispute resolution. During the process of making your agreement, you'll also be able to select its state of jurisdiction. Using the document tool, you have the ability to implement further custom alterations, as necessary.

The fees associated with finding and hiring the average law firm might total hundreds of dollars or thousands, if the matter is complex. With Rocket Lawyer, your free Technical Writing Contract will be customized with your information and for your specific needs. Simply click "Make document" above to start the process. You can always have your drafted document looked at by an attorney in our nationwide On Call network after creating it.

In order to finish up any Technical Writing Contract, it will need to be signed by both you and the client. RocketSign^® enables you to do this with ease. Make sure to provide a final copy of the signed contract to your client. With a Premium membership, you also can print it, download it as a Word document or PDF file, and make copies of it as needed.
