Cha & Kwon Law Offices advised an overseas corporation by designing the structure of an independent contractor agreement and preparing contract documents to be entered into with content creators residing overseas.

The agreement involved a structure under which multiple creators would participate in the production of branded content and receive compensation in virtual assets. Accordingly, the key issues included clarifying the creators’ status as independent contractors, allocating risks arising from payment in virtual assets, addressing international sanctions-related risks, and determining the ownership of rights in the resulting content.

Cha & Kwon Law Offices designed a template structure that separated common contractual terms from contractor-specific individual terms. This enabled the client to manage multiple contracts consistently while flexibly reflecting individual conditions such as compensation and scope of work.

As a result, Cha & Kwon Law Offices prepared a set of contract documents that could be efficiently used for the addition of future contractors or changes in work conditions, and proposed contractual measures to address key legal risks that may arise in cross-border content production arrangements.

Cha & Kwon Law Offices provides contract drafting advisory services for new types of global business arrangements by designing contract structures tailored to the client’s actual business operations and incorporating practical risk management measures.
