What are agency and consultancy agreements?

An agency agreement sets out the terms under which an agent acts on behalf of a principal, often to negotiate or secure business. A consultancy agreement governs the relationship between a business and an independent consultant providing professional services. Both are part of the wider contractual frameworks that businesses rely on to operate securely and efficiently.

These agreements define:

Scope of services and deliverables;

Payment terms and expenses;

Confidentiality and intellectual property rights;

Liability and indemnities; and

Termination rights and notice periods.

Without clear terms you risk disputes, financial loss or damage to your reputation.
