Frequently asked questions

The Independent Consultant Agreement is a legal document that establishes the terms of engagement between a company and an independent consultant. It covers services, compensation, confidentiality, intellectual property, non-solicitation, warranties, indemnification and termination provisions. This template helps companies and consultants clarify responsibilities, protect proprietary information and ensure compliance with state law while maintaining an independent contractor relationship.
The agreement is completed by both the hiring company and the independent consultant. Legal counsel may also review the document to ensure it complies with applicable state law.
Once signed, the agreement is retained by both parties as part of their records. It is not typically filed with a government office, but may be required in case of audits, disputes or tax matters.
