Questions about the Consulting Agreement

What the consultant is hired to do and the specific services, any deliverables and how they are accepted, the start and end dates, how and when the consultant is paid, how expenses are handled, who owns the work product, confidentiality, and how either side can end the agreement.

Yes. Choose hourly billing with an optional monthly hour cap, a fixed project fee with an optional deposit, or a monthly retainer. The payment terms in the agreement change to match.

You decide. The client can own the work product once it has paid for it, or the consultant can keep ownership and give the client a license to use it. Either way, each side keeps the tools and materials it already had.

No. The consultant stays free to work for other clients. You can include a narrower promise not to solicit each other's employees, which applies only as far as the governing law allows.
