As a tech freelancer, I am sometimes brought into projects by companies who end up messing up the project, or always pay me late, causing me to leave the project. At such a point, the client, whom we are both ultimately working for, would sometimes like to reach out, to retain me directly, realizing at this point that I am the indispensable talent in the project.

The problem is that in just about every case, the intermediary and I already have an agreement in place with standard considerations, such as non-compete clauses, NDAs, and a non-solicitation agreement.

Therefore, technically speaking, I could be setting myself up for legal issues if I even accept a call from the end client to negotiate to work for them directly, and cut out the intermediary.

What I need is standard copy for a document that I can have the intermediary sign, in order to revoke/cancel all previous agreements between them and myself, thusly freeing me up to work directly for their client, without any fear of any survive-ability loop-holes from any previous agreements / contracts with the intermediary.

This would be feasible in certain cases, because, if the intermediary does not sign the doc I present, the client would hold the intermediary accountable for the ultimate failure of the project, and possibly, the intermediary could lose other substantial business with the client.

Cool story. Do you have a question?

Or are you actually soliciting anonymous strangers on the internet to prepare legal documents for you?
 
@KatDini thanks for starting with an interesting statement, upon which I can start basing meaningful questions. The first would be this: if the jurisdiction of the agreement is in AZ, should I not find an attorney in AZ to draw the doc? I would think that if I use a legal resource in the same state as the original agreement, he/she would be more aware of possible loop-holes applicable to the state of jurisdiction of the original draft. I am curious why it is that hiring an attorney in my own state would be more beneficial.
