Industries/Professional Services
Professional Services.
Engagement terms and IP frameworks for consulting firms.
Who we advise
Consultancies, agencies, engineers, architects and advisory firms live and die by the strength of their engagement letters, scoping documents and IP terms. We make sure yours protect margin and manage scope creep before it starts.
What we do for professional services
Engagement letters & MSAs
Client-facing templates that scale from SOW to enterprise MSA without rewriting the base.
Sub-contractor agreements
Independent contractor agreements that manage IP, confidentiality and non-solicit properly.
Liability & indemnity
Practical caps and carve-outs benchmarked against Australian professional indemnity insurance.
Examples we're pulled in on
- Scope creep and unbilled work under fixed-fee engagements
- IP ownership over deliverables and background methodologies
- Contractor vs employee misclassification risk
- Client indemnity and liability caps that survive procurement
