The Consultant Appointment Agreement is a crucial legal document used when engaging external expertise on a professional services basis in Malta. It serves to clearly define the relationship between the client and consultant, ensuring proper classification as an independent contractor rather than an employee under Maltese law. The agreement includes essential provisions regarding service scope, fees, intellectual property, confidentiality, and data protection, while ensuring compliance with Maltese regulatory requirements including tax and social security obligations. This document is particularly important in protecting both parties' interests, establishing clear deliverables and expectations, and maintaining compliance with relevant Maltese legislation and EU regulations such as GDPR.
