It would need to be somehow unique from both an acqui-hire and contracting with a professional service company. You really don't want to go to the step of individual interviews. The point you're making is that each member contributes in ways that have been demonstrated to have sufficient value from the team's perspective. The evidence is your portfolio of successful projects in the past. Each member's strength may not come through in interviews. Also, part of the value to your clients is that all the recruiting, hiring and onboarding work has already been done. Saves them time & money. You're still going to need contracts, accountability, communication overhead, and those aspects are difficult to administer if each member has their own contract. Moreover, you'll need to determine how the payments are going to be divided and how to handle payment terms, collections, etc. It seems most reflective of a law firm... So at first glance, I'd consider setting the team up as an LLP.
