What is What is a Consultancy Agreement?
A Consultancy Agreement is a legal contract between a consultant and a client, outlining the terms of professional services, payment, confidentiality, and liabilities. It ensures that both parties have a clear understanding of the work to be delivered and the compensation to be received.
In India, consultancy agreements are widely used across industries such as IT, management, finance, education, and creative services. A well-drafted agreement prevents misunderstandings, protects intellectual property, and provides a strong legal framework for smooth collaboration.

- This agreement may be utilised by either a client intending to hire a consultant for consulting services or a consultant seeking to work with a client
- You can establish a client-consultant relationship using this agreement. The services agreement may be utilised for additional services. The employment agreement may be utilised to establish an employer-employee connection
- This agreement will contain information on the consultant and client, including, if applicable, their offices’ addresses
- A thorough Scope of Work (SoW) can be included by the person filling up this Agreement. The SoW details the services for which the parties have entered into this agreement. To prevent any disagreements, it is preferable to specify the SoW in great detail with all relevant details
- The method and duration of payment, as well as how the consultation fee will be determined (hourly, daily, monthly, etc.), are all outlined in the payment clause
- According to the needs, the parties may put a confidential clause or a non-disclosure clause in this agreement. This serves to safeguard the client’s private information. A second Non-disclosure agreement may be signed by the parties if they wish to establish more detailed conditions about the confidentiality duty (such as what information should and should not be treated as confidential, how long it should be kept that way, etc.)
- The parties may agree on a non-compete clause, which would prohibit the consultant from going up against the client for a specified amount of time in a particular area. This agreement allows for the addition of a non-solicitation clause, which forbids the consultant from approaching the client’s clients or staff with offers of employment. A separate non-compete agreement might be used if the client requires a non-competition and non-solicitation agreement that is exclusive
- The parties may also incorporate the arbitration clause in this agreement. Both parties will voluntarily select an impartial third party (‘Arbitrator’) to hear any disagreements between the parties under the arbitration. After hearing both sides’ arguments, the arbitrator will decide on the basis of merit. The decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding upon the parties
- Both the consultant and the client must properly sign this agreement on the designated stamp paper in accordance with the Stamp Acts and regulations of the relevant states for it to be considered a binding contract.
