Document background
The MOU Consultancy Agreement is designed for use in the Australian business environment where parties wish to establish a preliminary framework for consulting services before entering into a more detailed formal agreement. This document is particularly useful in situations where parties need to quickly document their intentions and basic commercial terms while maintaining flexibility. It includes essential elements required under Australian law such as scope of services, commercial terms, confidentiality provisions, and intellectual property rights, while acknowledging the independent contractor relationship. The MOU structure allows parties to test their working relationship and refine their requirements before committing to a more comprehensive agreement, making it ideal for new consulting relationships or project-specific consulting arrangements.
