FAQ
What is the difference between a consulting agreement and a service agreement?
A service agreement is typically more detailed regarding deliverables, SLAs, and performance metrics. I will advise on the best format for your situation.
Is this agreement suitable for freelance consultants?
Yes. The agreement is ideal for freelancers, independent contractors, and advisory consultants across all industries.
Can you include IR35-compliant language?
Yes. I can draft the agreement with IR35 considerations to help clarify the employment status of the consultant under UK tax law.
Do I own the intellectual property created by the consultant?
Standard and Premium packages include IP assignment clauses ensuring you own all work product. This can be added to Basic as an extra.
How is this different from a template I can download online?
Templates are generic and may not protect your specific interests. I draft every agreement from scratch based on your unique requirements as a qualified solicitor.
Can the agreement cover multiple consultants?
Yes. The Premium package can be structured as a master service agreement with individual statements of work for each consultant.
What if the consultant is based outside the UK?
I can include cross-border provisions, international dispute resolution mechanisms, and choice-of-law clauses suitable for global engagements.
Will the agreement protect me if the consultant underperforms?
Yes. Standard and Premium packages include SLA clauses, performance benchmarks, and remedy provisions for underperformance.
Can you also draft a separate NDA?
Yes. A standalone NDA is available as a gig extra, or confidentiality provisions can be embedded within the service agreement itself.
What happens if I need to terminate the consultant early?
All packages include termination clauses. Premium includes detailed termination for cause, convenience, and post-termination wind-down provisions.
