The Assignment Agreement (Overeenkomst van Opdracht) is essential for businesses operating in the Netherlands that engage independent contractors, consultants, or freelancers. This document is specifically designed to comply with Dutch law, particularly the Wet DBA, which regulates the distinction between employment and independent contractor relationships. It should be used whenever a company wishes to engage an independent professional for specific services while maintaining clear separation from employment relationships. The agreement covers crucial aspects such as service scope, payment terms, intellectual property rights, and liability provisions, while incorporating necessary elements to satisfy Dutch regulatory requirements for independent contractor arrangements.
