The Consulting Contract serves as a foundational document for establishing professional consulting relationships under Belgian law. It is essential for situations where organizations seek to engage external expertise while clearly defining the independent nature of the relationship. This document is particularly relevant in the Belgian business context, where strict distinctions between employment and independent consulting relationships must be maintained. The contract addresses key aspects such as service scope, compensation, intellectual property rights, and data protection obligations under both Belgian and EU law. It is designed to protect both parties' interests while ensuring compliance with Belgian civil code, social security legislation, and tax regulations. The document is commonly used by businesses of all sizes, from SMEs to multinational corporations, when engaging consultants for projects ranging from short-term assignments to long-term strategic initiatives.
