We provide off-the-shelf contracts or bespoke contracts specifically
written for your circumstances. Whichever you choose, you can rely on
the fact that our contracts are comprehensive, easy to use and read,
and
provide you with wide-ranging and multi-layered protection against typical
problems encountered in your industry. Our contracts are provided on
a
licence basis subject to our copyright.
The prices quoted below include implementation advice to ensure
the final contract is used correctly and suits your practical requirements,
whilst
still being 'client-friendly'. If your client requests minor modifications,
these will also be considered and incorporated if appropriate within
the scope of the implementation process. If significant redrafting or
negotiation becomes necessary then this may incur further costs.
If you are not able to present your own contractual agreement to your
client then we will be able to provide a Dual
Purpose Review of the client’s own terms and negotiate changes
where appropriate in relation to commercial risk, liabilities, intellectual
property rights implications and (if appropriate) IR35.

contractors engaged directly by a client under a single or framework
arrangement to complete discrete projects, use the latest version
of our project agreement. This has been drafted to be user-friendly,
understandable and unambiguous
to
ensure
the best possible protection from liabilities
for your limited company. Specifically tailored agreements are available
for IT, interim management, engineering, CAD/CAM and other industries,
and address relevant IR35 considerations.
This
template is ideal for contractors engaged through an intermediary
consultancy on a subcontract basis to complete discrete projects.
This has been drafted to be user-friendly, understandable and unambiguous
to ensure the best possible protection from liabilities for your limited
company.
A
genuine business should have its own company Terms of Business.
These
should be effective standard terms sent with a company brochure (CV)
or quotation to potential clients or agencies setting out the
terms
upon which your company intends to provide its services. Apart from
being crucial to protect your business from potential commercial
risk, properly drafted terms can significantly assist with IR35
status and can
be
incorporated into a final contract.
It is
important that your company has in place all the appropriate internal
documentation expected of a legitimate business enterprise. The
internal Company Documents have been specifically drafted for small
businesses and to demonstrate an independent contractor in business
on its own account, this
package
comprises:

other bespoke commercial agreements can be prepared for a variety of requirements,
