Freelance / consulting services agreement

Templates › Service Agreements & Contracts

A freelance or consulting services agreement is a contract for independent work that goes further than a basic service agreement — it covers deliverables and timeline, intellectual property, confidentiality, and how either side can end the engagement.

When to use it

Use this for freelance or independent consulting work with real scope — multiple deliverables, a project timeline, or anything involving intellectual property or confidential information, where a one-page service agreement wouldn't cover enough ground.

What's typically included

• Scope of services
• Deliverables and timeline
• Compensation
• Intellectual property
• Confidentiality
• Independent contractor status
• Termination
• Limitation of liability
• Governing law
