What is a Consultancy Agreement?

A Consultancy Agreement sets out the terms and conditions of an arrangement between a self-employed person (known as a ‘consultant’) and a client. Consultancy Agreements are used when a client requires a consultant's services. Consultancy services are wide-ranging and include advice from experts in certain areas (eg brand consulting or freelance design services).
