Management Consulting Agreement

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

Scope of Services

Why This Matters: Ambiguous responsibilities can lead to disputes, delays, and cost overruns, increasing legal and operational risks.

Negotiation strategy

If you're the Company:

Ensure all tasks and deliverables are explicitly listed. Confirm timelines are feasible and performance standards are industry-appropriate.

If you're the Client:

Use reasonable efforts to accommodate changes requested by the Client. Ensure any changes to scope are documented in writing.
