I need some bookkeeping help to free up my time and I have found someone suitable who has a day job, but wants extra work on days off, evenings and weekends etc. I want to get a watertight but simple subcontractor / freelance agreement in place to protect us both and to make everything crystal clear. I don't want to just take a chance on doing this myself.
Can anyone recommend a legal firm / solicitor who could do this for me and who is familiar with the Accountancy / Bookkeeping profession. Also, what sort of fee should I be expecting for a solicitor to draw this agreement up for me?
Thanks

I’m sure you could just get a template off the internet for a modest fee unless you think you have particular and unique requirements.
If you are advising clients, in what is a quite a topical area at the moment I would have thought that you would undertand how to construct a contract of this nature. If not how can you possibly advise your clients as to where they stand in relation to IR35? Solicitors do not understand IR35. It's not a solicitor you want but more experience and training.
Maybe it was me misreading the OP but i think he/she is referring to subcontracting contract with a bookkeeper.
There used to be one in AAT pack but for some reason it has disappeared. IAB has tonnes of information on their website.
