I will draft ir35 friendly UK consultancy agreements for contractors and clients
About this Gig
Hiring a contractor? If your consultancy agreement looks like an employment contract, you are waving a red flag at HMRC. Generic templates won't protect you from an IR35 investigation.

WHAT I DO:
- Draft a custom UK consultancy agreement reflecting genuine self employment
- Include substitution rights and control provisions to support your IR35 positioning
- Define deliverables, payment terms, and IP ownership clearly
- Provide a written note explaining how the contract terms interact with IR35
WHO THIS IS FOR:
- UK businesses engaging freelancers or consultants
- Contractors operating through a personal service company (PSC)
- Anyone using a generic template that might not survive HMRC scrutiny
WHAT I NEED FROM YOU:

- Whether you are the client hiring, or the contractor yourself
- Any existing template you want replaced

FAQ
How does this contract help me with IR35?
I draft specific clauses covering substitution rights, control, and project deliverables. These terms create strong written evidence that the working relationship is genuinely business to business, giving you the best possible legal foundation if HMRC ever looks at your arrangement
My contractor is insisting on a "no substitution" clause. Can you fix it?
Yes. I will rewrite the clause to protect your right to approve a replacement contractor without accidentally creating an employment relationship. This solves the immediate negotiation issue while keeping the contract legally robust
What is included in the IR35 positioning note?
I explain exactly how the clauses I drafted interact with HMRC’s IR35 principles. You get a clear breakdown of your legal position and the specific protections built into the contract, which you can share with your accountant or tax adviser for their final review.
