A partner of record is an outside firm that assumes the legal duty of classifying, onboarding and paying independent contractors in every market where you hire them.

Most teams are live in four working days. We review your existing contracts, re-paper anyone who needs it, and take over the classification file from there.

A standard partner reviews the paperwork. Bulwark also carries the financial exposure, so if a ruling goes against a classification we settle the penalty, not you.

No. One per-contractor rate covers the classification review, the local counsel opinion, payouts in 43 currencies and the indemnity that sits behind them.

An onboarding lead maps your roles by country, flags the ones that read as employment, and moves the rest onto Bulwark agreements in a single batch.

Leave with 30 days notice and keep every signed agreement and payment record. We hand back a full compliance file so nothing has to be rebuilt from scratch.
