When to use it.

Consulting Agreement is a ready-to-send contract for an independent consultant or a small consultancy taking on a client engagement. It covers the purpose and scope of the work as a dated schedule, the consultant's status as an independent contractor, the day rate and instalments, invoicing and late payment, confidentiality, data protection, intellectual property, warranties, the limit on liability, term and termination, non-solicitation, notices and governing law. Every figure, date and party detail is marked as a blue fill-in, so you can work through it in order and see what is still to be decided. It ends with signing boxes and dates for both sides.

Made for

  • Agencies signing new clients
  • Freelancers and contractors
  • Consultants and advisers
  • Founders and small businesses

Make it yours in four steps.

Open it in Documents and work through it, or let Docsiv AI do the first pass with your details.

  1. Step 1

    Replace the blue fill-ins on the title page: both parties' legal names and addresses, the effective date, the term and the fee.

  2. Step 2

    Rewrite the schedule in clause 2 so each service, deliverable and date matches the engagement you have agreed.

  3. Step 3

    Set the money terms in clauses 4 and 5 — the day rate, the instalments, payment days, interest and the cancellation notice.

  4. Step 4

    Check the jurisdiction in clause 14, the insurance figure and liability cap in clause 10, then send it for signature.
