What is a Consulting Agreement?

A Consulting Agreement is the contract between a consultant and a client. It defines the services being provided, the fee structure — hourly, retainer, or fixed project price — deliverables, timelines, and the professional terms around the work: confidentiality, ownership of results, and liability limits.

It's closely related to an independent contractor agreement, but framed for advisory and professional-services work rather than production work.

Why it matters

Consulting disputes almost always trace back to mismatched expectations — what was included, what counted as done, when payment was due. Writing the engagement down turns those questions into clauses. It also makes you look like the professional you are.
