Consultancy Agreements facilitate and structure a legally binding relationship between a consultant (an individual or a company providing professional advice or services) and a client (the entity seeking the consultancy services). These agreements are essential for delineating the scope of work, payment terms, confidentiality obligations, and other key terms of the consultancy arrangement.
It serves as a legal framework that defines the relationship between a consultant and a client, detailing the responsibilities, rights, and obligations of both parties.
How Does It Work?
The process begins with the client identifying the need for expert advice or services in a specific area. The client and consultant then negotiate the terms of the consultancy, such as the scope of services, duration of the contract, payment terms, confidentiality requirements, and any deliverables. These terms are then encapsulated into a Consultancy Agreement, which both parties sign to formalise their arrangement.
