Working with umbrella companies is increasingly high-risk.
Protect your agency with a Lawspeed Umbrella Agreement. A framework contract built for today’s compliance challenges.
With HMRC scrutiny and new legislation looming, generic umbrella terms or relying on umbrellas own terms is no longer enough. Agencies need clear, enforceable agreements that protect their business.
Unlike generic contracts, the Lawspeed Umbrella Agreement combines legal strength with practical ease of use, so you can continue working with umbrellas confidently.
Features included as standard:
Relying on generic contracts or umbrellas own terms leaves agencies exposed.
With a Lawspeed umbrella agreement you get a framework contract that’s watertight, practical, and always up to date with the law.
Whether you use your own contract or rely on an umbrella company own terms you may not have maximum protection against risk. Lawspeed umbrella contracts provide that protection. The contract is largely future proof and ready for up coming changes in legislation.
We have included a directors guarantee since 2016 to help provide compliance assurance by the umbrella company. This is also now recommended by the EAS. Only the director of an umbrella company know its compliance operations and so obtaining a guarantee supports the umbrella credentials. The guarantee is optional and can be removed easily if not wanted.
No. It’s a framework agreement, so it only needs to be issued and accepted once. Each placement is then covered by a short assignment confirmation form.
The Lawspeed Umbrella Agreement includes a built-in opt-out, automatically captured through ProTerms. This ensures you remain compliant with regulations while reducing admin.
No, Proterms is optional. However, the standard dashboard comes free with the contract, and the Pro version provides advanced issue and tracking functions.
