What this usually involves

Service relationships fail on scope and ownership far more often than on price. A clear agreement fixes deliverables, change control and who owns the output.

  • Defining scope, milestones and change control
  • Allocating intellectual property in deliverables
  • Setting notice periods and wind-down obligations

Common questions

Who owns work produced under a services contract?
Unless the agreement assigns it, the supplier normally owns the intellectual property it creates, even where the customer paid for it.
Is a consultancy agreement the same as employment?
No, but poorly drafted terms can create employment or worker status, with tax and tribunal consequences.
