Management Consulting Agreement

A Management Consulting Agreement governs advisory or professional services engagements. This playbook explores fee structures, confidentiality, and limitation of liability provisions.

Compensation Terms

Why This Matters: Unclear or inequitable compensation terms can cause disputes, employee dissatisfaction, or noncompliance with wage laws.

Negotiation strategy

If you're the Company:

Ensure that compensation terms are clear and comply with applicable wage laws. Negotiate for flexible payment schedules that align with cash flow needs.

If you're the Client:

Advocate for fair compensation terms that reflect the value of services provided. Ensure timely payment and reimbursement processes are in place.

Essential elements

1

Payment Schedule

Defines timing of payments.
2

Expense Reimbursement

Outlines reimbursement process.
3

Late Payment

Specifies interest on overdue payments.

Action framework

ACCEPT

Propose edits if payment terms are unclear or noncompliant with laws.

EDIT

Reject if terms are inequitable or violate wage laws.

ADD

Add terms for jurisdiction-specific compliance.

PRO TIP

Always ensure compensation terms are tailored to the specific jurisdiction to avoid legal issues.
