Consulting Contract Legal Services for Professionals

We will adapt our approach based on your instructions. Our team of contract lawyers have extensive experience and can create your contracts to your preference.

Prosper Law can review, draft, and negotiate your consulting agreement in a friendly and commercial manner. We can also take a firm approach if needed. We will confirm which approach you would like us to take before starting work.

Our initial scoping call for consulting contract legal services with you will seek to identify recurring issues that your business experiences. We will also explain terms that may be problematic and provide ideas to manage these issues.

Yes, we will always take steps to protect your business’s relationship with clients. If we become aware that contract negotiations or particular terms may cause problems with clients, we will advise you. You can then decide how you would like to address these issues in your consulting agreement.

When we ask for changes to a consultancy contract, we give clear and detailed explanations for why we request the change for your business. In our experience, this ensures that we leave the door open for negotiation and alternative clause wording.

We can tailor our consulting review services to include reviewing:

• indemnity clauses
• limitations of liability and consequential loss exclusion clauses
• insurance requirements (including anything that may sit outside your insurance coverage)
• clauses that may prevent you from relying on information or being responsible for the work of others
• strict obligations regarding timing and deadlines, including liquidated damages
• certifications, deed polls, deeds of novation and deeds of covenant
• confidential information and intellectual property obligations

Prosper Law can help consulting firms manage sub-consulting risks, draft subcontracts and comply with head contract requirements.

Poor quality consulting services can lead to professional indemnity claims. For this reason alone, it is important to engage with a consultancy agreement lawyer to manage this risk.

For example, a head contract may require you to pass terms through to your sub-consultant. A sub-consultant may also need to provide information that you are relying on. They may also need to meet minimum insurance requirements.

We can provide training, consulting agreement templates, contract manuals, and other tools to assist you.

Our consultancy agreement manuals provide a valuable guideline for your team. The manual can help your team to understand how and when to negotiate contract changes. Our contract manuals will combine:

• information from insurance policies
• internal processes and delegations of authority
• legal and commercial risk profiles

We can also prepare template contracts. Our range of template agreements includes:

• consultancy agreements
• fee proposals
• joint venture agreements
• non-disclosure agreements
• variation forms
• other professional services contract templates

An experienced consultancy agreement lawyer should review, negotiate, and prepare professional consulting contracts. Several reasons arise for this, including:

• the effectiveness of your professional indemnity policy may rely on the terms of your consultancy contract
• professional consulting agreements can range from fair to extremely unfair. An experienced consultancy lawyer will understand what terms are appropriate
• the contract terms and conditions allocate legal and commercial risks
• your business may give up important legal rights by accident
• the client often prepares consultancy agreements that do not favour the consultant

Our consulting contract lawyers will include key terms in a consulting agreement. This will help lower risk and protect your business.

Issues may also come up when you are providing services and throughout the term. Our team has extensive experience in consultancy contracts and problem management.
