Consulting Agreement Contract

"I need a Consulting Agreement Contract for engaging a cybersecurity consultant who will be handling sensitive data and providing penetration testing services starting March 2025, with specific emphasis on GDPR compliance and robust confidentiality provisions."

Document background

This Consulting Agreement Contract is designed for use in Ireland when engaging external consultants or consulting firms to provide professional services to businesses or organizations. The agreement establishes the framework for a non-employment relationship between the parties, clearly defining the consultant's status as an independent contractor while ensuring compliance with Irish law, including the Terms of Employment (Information) Acts 1994-2014 and relevant tax legislation. It covers essential elements such as service scope, fees, intellectual property rights, confidentiality, data protection under GDPR, and termination provisions. The document is particularly important in protecting both parties' interests and avoiding potential misclassification of the relationship as employment under Irish law.
