The Legal Risk Score of a Consultancy Agreement (Pro-Client) Template is Low

Our legal team have marked this document as low risk considering:

  • The agreement mandates the transfer of all rights, title, and interest in intellectual property created during the consultancy to one party, which could limit the creator's future use or control over their own innovations.
  • The document imposes strict confidentiality requirements, which could restrict the sharing of information and potentially hinder collaboration with other parties or future opportunities.
  • The allowance for using subcontractors without explicit consent for each individual or entity could lead to inconsistencies in the quality of the work delivered, as well as potential dilution of responsibility.
