Contracts for consultants

Advisory and consulting agreements built for the way modern consultants actually work.

Whether you're a solo advisor, a fractional executive or a boutique consultancy, FreeContracts gives you clean, signable consulting agreements — retainer or project, monthly or one-time. Free.

Sound familiar?

  • Retainer terms scribbled across emails
  • Different contract per client = inconsistent records
  • Late fees and out-of-scope work uncovered
  • Per-seat e-signature tools too expensive for solo consulting

What you get

Retainer or project

Switch the structure with a single toggle. Both formats follow standard legal patterns.

Out-of-scope clauses included

Define how additional work is billed so you're never doing free 'quick favours'.

Audit-trailed signatures

Every signature carries a tamper-evident audit trail. Defensible if a dispute ever arises.

FAQ

Should consultants use a service agreement or consulting agreement?

Either works. The consulting agreement is tailored for advisory work; the service agreement is broader and B2B-focused.

How should I structure retainer fees?

Fix the monthly fee, define the included hours or scope, and specify how out-of-scope work is billed (typically at an hourly rate).

What about international clients?

Choose your governing law in the generator. Most consulting work uses the consultant's home jurisdiction.
