Standard agency contracts will not always accurately reflect the actual
working practices and circumstances of an engagement. It is strongly recommended
to seek professional guidance in proposing appropriate changes and negotiating
contract terms. Hundreds of contractors, interim managers and freelancers
have benefited from appointing Lawspeed to redraft a current or proposed
contract and we have an excellent record of successful negotiation with
most leading agencies.
If you are contracting directly with your client, or through an intermediary
consultancy, then we will provide you with commercial
contracts, where appropriate, containing terms that reflect arrangements
operating outside IR35.
We also advise in the event of a contractual dispute or breach of contract
– such as non-payment of invoices.
With our extensive experience in the recruitment industry we understand
the important issues and how to get results.
