A Consulting Engagement Contract is an agreement between a client and a consultant that outlines the scope of work, compensation, and other details related to the services provided by the consultant. It should identify, in detail, the services to be performed, list all tasks and timelines for completion, specify payment terms, and explain any applicable warranties or limitations on liability. A Consulting Engagement Contract is designed to ensure that both parties have clear expectations as to what needs to be accomplished and when it should be completed. When written correctly, this type of contract provides peace of mind to both parties and helps set the stage for a successful relationship.
