Document background
The Basic Consulting Agreement serves as a standardized legal framework for consulting engagements in Austria, suitable for both individual consultants and consulting firms. This document is essential when engaging external expertise for business, technical, or advisory services, providing clear guidelines for the consulting relationship while ensuring compliance with Austrian legislation, including the ABGB (Austrian Civil Code) and UGB (Commercial Code). The agreement covers crucial aspects such as service scope, compensation, intellectual property rights, and confidentiality, while incorporating necessary data protection provisions to comply with both Austrian and EU regulations. It's particularly valuable for organizations seeking to formalize consulting relationships while maintaining flexibility in service delivery and protecting both parties' interests.
