Management Consulting Agreement
A Management Consulting Agreement governs advisory or professional services engagements. This playbook explores fee structures, confidentiality, and limitation of liability provisions.
IP Ownership
Negotiation strategy
Ensure all IP created during the engagement is assigned to the company. Include comprehensive clauses for assignment and cooperation in IP protection.
Negotiate for a fair license to use pre-existing IP and ensure moral rights waivers are jurisdictionally compliant.
Essential elements
1
IP Assignment
Transfer of IP rights to Company.
2
License Grant
Rights to use pre-existing IP.
3
Moral Rights Waiver
Waiver of attribution rights.
Action framework
ACCEPT
Propose edits if IP rights are not clearly assigned or if the scope of the license is too broad.
EDIT
Reject clauses that do not comply with jurisdiction-specific IP laws or fail to protect core business assets.
ADD
Add clauses for confidentiality and cooperation if not present.
PRO TIP
Always verify that IP clauses align with both parties' strategic goals and legal standards.
