Document background
The Simple Consulting Contract serves as a foundational document for establishing professional consulting relationships under Austrian law. This agreement is particularly suitable for independent consultants, consulting firms, or professional service providers engaging with clients for defined project work or ongoing advisory services. The contract incorporates key provisions required by Austrian legislation, including the ABGB (Austrian Civil Code) and UGB (Austrian Commercial Code), while addressing essential aspects such as service scope, compensation, intellectual property rights, and data protection requirements. It's designed to be comprehensive enough to provide legal certainty while remaining sufficiently flexible to accommodate various consulting arrangements, from short-term projects to longer-term advisory relationships.
