This contract covers a multitude of work types for a self employed consultant. It has been drawn for periodic assignments with any client. It is intended to make clear the self employed status of the consultant.
About this document
This consultancy agreement is suitable for:
• A “client” requiring a contract to set out trading terms with a consultant or self employed person;
• A business using self employed people.
Why? It has been drawn so that any intellectual property designed or written by the consultant belongs to the client, not the consultant. The document therefore favours the client. If you are a consultant and want to ensure that any IP belongs to you, use our document 'Consultancy agreement: consultant's version' linked right.''
Note however, that although the agreement clothes the transaction with all the characteristics of self employment, simply using one of these contracts will not necessarily avoid the relationship of employer and employed.
