Document background
The Consulting Statement of Work (SoW) is a critical document used in Austrian business relationships to define and govern specific consulting engagements. It serves as a detailed project-specific agreement under the framework of Austrian law, particularly the ABGB and UGB, and is typically used when a consulting firm or individual consultant needs to outline specific services, deliverables, and commercial terms for a client project. This document type is essential for both parties to clearly understand their obligations, project scope, timeline, and success criteria. The SoW includes key elements such as service descriptions, deliverables, timelines, payment terms, and acceptance criteria, while ensuring compliance with Austrian legal requirements and data protection regulations. It's particularly valuable for complex consulting projects where clear definition of scope and deliverables is crucial for project success.
