2025 Brings Added Protections for Independent Contractors with the Freelance Worker Protection Act (FWPA)

Agreements for freelance work entered into or renewed on or after January 1, 2025, must be in writing and must set forth specific elements including those related to timing of invoicing and compensation. Failure to comply with the new law, and any action taken to restrict the enforcement of its requirements, may result in a action for damages, attorneys’ fees, costs, and injunctive relief.
