1. Consultancy Agreement

A Consultancy Agreement clearly lays down the most relevant details about the relationship between consultant and employer. It stipulates the job requirements, time for completion, the mode and method of payment as well as other aspects related to the rendering of service by the consultant. Of particular importance if the consultant is working toward developing a new design or invention is stating who owns the resulting intellectual property.

Advantages of a Consultancy Agreement

Protects Both Parties

A well-drafted Consultancy Agreement will minimize risk of future litigation, as the rights and duties of both parties are clearly laid down in the agreement.

Enables Confidentiality

In case the nature of the work requires confidentiality on the part of one or both parties, the Consultancy Agreement can be drafted to reflect this.

2.Employment Agreement

An employment contract is necessary when hiring any employee or consultant, whether part-time of permanent. It is a comprehensive document that addresses all terms and conditions governing employment, as well as the rights, duties and responsibilities of each party with respect to the other. Common points would include breakdown of salary, date of joining, notice period and non-compete clause.

Advantages of an Employment Agreement

Minimizes Risk

Employment contracts protect the rights of both employers and employees. A specific, well-drafted clause in an employment contract can go a long way in avoiding ambiguity and minimising legal risks.

Sets Expectations

As with many other legal documents, the key advantage is psychological. Once an employee and employer sign a contract, it creates a feeling of respect for the terms it contains. The contract defines the expectations and responsibilities of both parties, ensuring that neither party will be treated arbitrarily in case an event discussed in the contract occurs.

3.Freelancer Agreement

A freelance agreement clearly lays down the most relevant details about the relationship between freelancer and client. It stipulates the job requirements, time for completion, the mode and method of payment as well as other aspects related to the rendering of service by the freelancer. Now that modes of communication enable freelancers to work for employers across the world, such agreements have grown in popularity, particularly in the IT industry.
