Protection of intellectual property: iPhone app design

[philippides]

Good Afternoon:

I'm looking to hire a programmer to create an iPhone app for me. I'm wondering what sorts of legal documents I would need to have them sign to protect my intellectual property; in other words, to keep them from simply stealing the app and keeping all the profits from it.

Thanks in advance for the advice!
