Consultancy Agreement

Your business may have need of a consultant, and if you do then you will want to have a consultancy agreement on hand. This will allow you to put into place an agreement with an individual consultant or a consulting firm. We have hired UK solicitors to draft our consultancy agreement templates so that you are assured of the reliability and legality of our documents. There is a one hundred per cent money back guarantee if you are not happy with the template for the consultancy agreement. From time to time it may be necessary to update the template. When you purchase your consultancy agreement from us we will send you these updates for no additional charge.

If you are hiring a consultant for your business you want to have a consultancy agreement between your business and the consultant. This protects you and the consultant if any problems arise. It is important that both parties sign the agreement for it to become legally binding and offer protection. You will find that the consultancy agreement on our web site is general in its context. If you find that you need to add any addendums to the consultancy agreement you may wish to seek the counsel of a solicitor or other professional. You will be able to add any additional information you need with our easy to use consultancy agreement template.

This template for a consultant is a great resource if your business has need of a consultant for a special project or one that is based on a specified length of time. The consultant that you hire may have their offices where they will work from in either situation. However, if your business needs to provide an office for the consultant you can include this stipulation in the consultancy agreement.

You may find that one consultant is only qualified to work on portions of a project and that you will need to employ more than one consultant for this project. Our consultancy agreement can be used for both consultants in this instance.

It can be beneficial to both parties to discuss, interview and then work with a consultant. While you are in the interview and discussion phase you should have the consultancy agreement on your computer so that when you find the right consultant there are no delays in the project. You will enter in the consultancy agreement what is expected from the consultant and if the consultancy agreement can be extended if both parties are willing.

The consultancy agreement should contain the details from both parties. It should include the details of the project, the expected term of the consultancy, the responsibilities and duties of the consultant and business and fees. If any intellectual property rights are involved this should be entered in the consultancy agreement. Two other important factors are any confidentiality that must be maintained and termination if the situation warrants it. There will be a place for you to put your business name and that of the individual consultant or consultancy firm.

Fees are an important part of any consultancy agreement so that it is very clear who will be paying for what. The consultant should be able to give you a price for their services and what happens if the consultant goes over budget. Fees will also include things like office supplies, tools or other items that are connected with the consultancy. Don’t make room for any errors by using the consultancy agreement. You will find it priced right for a professionally drafted document. The ability to download the template to your computer gives you the advantage of being able to use it again and again so it saves you money.
