Work agreement over internet

Hi,

Can someone point to a lawyer for making "work agreement", for my following needs.

I have "toiminimi" in Finland, and would like to work together with some person outside EU, in order to develop a "hobby software project".

The whole idea of "work agreement" would be to keep everything legal, or in same way as RentACode / TopCoder website, except that now I work directly with the person.

Basically work agreement should ensure that all business laws are followed and I will pay XX amount if this person successfully develops the project.

many thanks.

Lawyer? Gosh that'll be expensive.

Just write down the terms. pre-requisites. who has rights to/owns the code at the end.

I will pay XX amount if this person successfully develops the project.

Then you'll need the project requirements up front so that you can attach them to the contract. If it's rolling, then agree a man-day price then for each delivery you pay (e.g. 5 days for requirements analysis, 3 days for mock-up). Then the costs will be clear when you change your mind...

It depends if you're employing them directly or just buying service from their company.

The second is easiest and has the least paperwork.
