When negotiating consultancy agreements abroad, one of the main difficulties faced by parties engaged in international trade is the lack of standard provisions for agreements of this type. Also, consultancy agreements are often not governed by specific statutory provisions. Companies looking to expand their operations often rely on a local consultant to provide guidance on issues related to the new market, including brand promotion, market research or local incentive schemes.
The International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) provides companies and their advisors with an internationally applicable, fair and balanced template.
Each ICC Model Contract includes a fully editable version in Microsoft Word, permitting you to easily adapt the contract to your specific case.
