About this document
A Consultancy Agreement may be for the appointment by the client of an individual’s personal service company. The service company agrees to provide consultancy services to the client, which will be carried out by the individual.
The individual is not a party to the Consultancy Agreement itself, which is between the client and the service company.
To help ensure that the individual will be available to provide the services and responsible for the performance of the Consultancy Agreement by the service company, the client will often require a letter from the individual to the client under which the individual will enter into legally binding undertakings directly with the client.
This letter is for use in conjunction with a Consultancy Agreement between the client and the individual’s service company.
For a form of consultancy for a service company on a time basis, see Consultancy Agreement: company (time-based). For a form of consultancy agreement with a service company on a project basis, see Consultancy Agreement: company (project-based).
