Document background
An Amendment To Consulting Agreement is used when parties need to modify their existing consulting relationship without creating an entirely new agreement. This document is particularly relevant in the Canadian business context, where consulting relationships often need to evolve to accommodate changing project requirements, timelines, or commercial terms. The amendment must comply with both federal and provincial Canadian laws regarding contract modifications and independent contractor relationships. It typically includes references to the original agreement, specific changes being made, and confirmations that other provisions remain in effect. This type of document is commonly used when updating scope of services, revising fee structures, extending contract duration, or modifying deliverables. The amendment ensures that changes are properly documented while maintaining the legal framework of the original consulting relationship.
