Consultancy Agreement

A Consultancy Agreement is a legal contract between a business or individual (the “Client”) and a consultant (the “Consultant”) who provides expert advice or services on a temporary basis. It outlines the scope of work, expectations, and responsibilities of both parties.

Key elements typically included:

• Description of consultancy services to be provided

• Duration of the engagement and key milestones

• Fees, billing terms, and reimbursement of expenses

• Confidentiality, intellectual property, and non-compete clauses

• Termination rights and notice periods

• Dispute resolution and governing law

A well-drafted Consultancy Agreement protects both the client and the consultant by clarifying deliverables, minimizing legal risks, and setting a clear professional framework.
