Management Consulting Agreement
A Management Consulting Agreement governs advisory or professional services engagements. This playbook explores fee structures, confidentiality, and limitation of liability provisions.
Dispute Resolution
Negotiation strategy
Ensure the dispute resolution clause aligns with the company's preferred jurisdiction and includes arbitration to minimize litigation costs.
Negotiate for a neutral jurisdiction and consider mediation as a first step to resolve disputes amicably.

Governing Law
Defines applicable legal framework.
2
Jurisdiction
Specifies court location for disputes.
3

Action framework
ACCEPT
Propose edits if the jurisdiction is not favorable or if arbitration rules are unclear.
EDIT
