Document background
The Simple Consulting Agreement is designed for use under Austrian law when engaging external consultants or consulting firms for professional services. This document is particularly relevant when establishing clear, professional consulting relationships that require compliance with Austrian legal requirements, including the ABGB (Austrian Civil Code) and GDPR. The agreement covers essential elements such as scope of services, payment terms, confidentiality, and intellectual property rights, while incorporating necessary provisions for data protection and professional liability. It's structured to be adaptable for various consulting arrangements while maintaining legal compliance and protecting both parties' interests. The document is commonly used for both short-term project-based consulting and ongoing advisory relationships, providing a solid legal foundation for professional service engagements in Austria.
