Consultancy Agreement FAQs

Why can't I just use a free template online?

Online templates are a major risk. They are generic and cannot account for your specific deliverables, protect your intellectual property adequately, or navigate the complex UK rules on employment status (IR35). A bespoke agreement drafted by a solicitor is an investment in preventing costly future disputes.

What is the most important clause in a consultancy agreement?

While all clauses are important, the two that prevent the most disputes are the 'Scope of Services' (what you will do) and the 'Intellectual Property' (who owns the work you create). Getting these right from the start provides essential clarity and protection for both parties.

What is IR35 and how does the agreement affect it?

IR35 (or 'off-payroll working' rules) is used to determine if a contractor is, for tax purposes, effectively an employee. A professionally drafted consultancy agreement is a key piece of evidence to demonstrate a genuine self-employed relationship, protecting both the business and the consultant from significant tax liabilities.
