📄 Consultancy Agreement Drafting Services
Secure Your Professional Relationships with Legally Enforceable Contracts
A Consultancy Agreement is a legally binding contract between a business (or individual) and a consultant outlining the scope of work, responsibilities, payment terms, and confidentiality provisions. It ensures both parties are aligned in expectations and protected from legal or financial disputes.
Whether you're hiring a freelance expert, management consultant, or technical advisor, a consultancy agreement is essential to define deliverables, timelines, and liabilities.

👉 Startups and tech firms hiring freelance developers or advisors
👉 Companies engaging legal, tax, HR, or strategy consultants
👉 Agencies working with external designers, marketers, or IT professionals
👉 Professionals offering B2B consulting services

⚖️Why You Need a Consultancy Agreement
Without a consultancy agreement, you risk:
❌ Misunderstandings over payment or scope can arise
❌ Intellectual property ownership may be contested
❌ Confidential data can be misused or leaked
❌ You may lack legal grounds for enforcement or damages
A well-drafted agreement not only mitigates these risks but also adds credibility to your corporate governance— and protects both parties and builds trust, professionalism, and legal clarity.
