Who Needs Freelance & Professional Agreement Services?

Freelancers & Independent Professionals

Independent professionals working on client projects who want to document service scope, professional fees, payment conditions and delivery responsibilities.

Business consultants, financial advisors, technical experts and other professionals providing specialised services to clients and organisations.

Businesses & Service Providers

Companies, startups and service providers engaging freelancers, independent contractors, consultants and external professionals for business assignments.

Freelance and professional agreements in India are generally governed by the Indian Contract Act, 1872. Section 10 deals with the requirements of valid contracts, Section 37 addresses the obligation of parties to perform their promises, and Sections 73 and 74 deal with compensation for contractual breaches. Depending on the services involved, additional laws relating to intellectual property, taxation, data protection, consumer protection and state-specific stamp duty may also apply. The actual nature of the working relationship should be assessed carefully, as the contractual label alone does not determine whether a person is an independent contractor or an employee.
