The Consulting Agreement
The Consulting Agreement
Building a business in the age of “information overload” is no easy feat. Sometimes, it can be nearly impossible to discern the helpful from the misleading. As a consultant, you are the intermediary that helps determine which information to listen to and which to avoid. That’s why working with consultants has become one of my absolute favorite parts of my job- I’ve seen the incredible impact that consultants can have on their own clients’ businesses.
But what happens if:
your client decides they want to cancel the agreement?
What if they decide to share some of your proprietary information?
Who owns the work created under this agreement?
This template will cover all of these scenarios and more, so that you can confidently consult with your clients.
