Consultancy agreement

Use this agreement when a consultant is hired by a client to provide consultancy services (in the UK only).

It can be used by the client or the consultant - it'll be drafted according to which party you are.

It offers clauses covering a wide range of issues, including remuneration, obligations, termination notice periods and intellectual property.

It's not a contract of employment, but if either party fails to honour the terms of the agreement, they could face claims of breach of contract or negligence.

This agreement is not suitable if the consultant works in the public sector or the health care industry or may have contact with children or vulnerable adults.
