Document background
The Consultant Retainer Agreement is designed for situations where organizations require ongoing access to specialized expertise without establishing an employment relationship. This document, governed by Belgian law, provides a comprehensive framework for retaining consultants on a continuous basis, clearly defining the scope of services, payment structure, and delivery expectations. It's particularly useful for companies seeking regular access to professional advice or services while maintaining compliance with Belgian independent contractor regulations. The agreement includes essential provisions for intellectual property protection, confidentiality, data protection under GDPR, and professional liability, making it suitable for various consulting arrangements from strategic advisory to technical services. The retainer structure allows for predictable billing and service availability while maintaining the consultant's independent status.
