Case Study: The $15,000 Lesson Every New Consultant Needs to Hear
The Setup
Sarah had just left her agency job to go solo as a marketing consultant. To save the $299 on proper contracts, she grabbed a free template online and tweaked it herself – it had her hourly rate and a rough project outline, so what could go wrong?
The Disaster
Everything. The client’s “quick additions” turned her 60-hour project into another 60 hours of unpaid work – her template had no scope boundaries, so they claimed it was “all included in the original quote”. When she pushed for payment, they threatened a one-star review. The final blow? Her template said nothing about IP ownership, so the client took her proprietary frameworks and began using them with other agencies. No payment recourse. No IP protection. No leg to stand on.
The Consulting Legal Package was a quick and easy fix to know that I've met my legal obligations on my website, and has given me the perfect consulting agreement template to present to clients. Easy to use and peace of mind for just a few clicks, thank you.
This is such a great idea - helpful and to the point - no waffling about. I got a great consulting contract when I needed one quick smart, which helped me lock in a new client, plus sensible, easy-to-implement web documents.
Very satisfied with the quality of the legal documents purchased from Legal123.com.au so far, and with the seamlessness of the purchasing process. Would definitely recommend.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need all four documents?
These legal documents for consultants cover both sides of your business. The Consulting Agreement protects your client work. The Website Legals protect your online presence from Australian Privacy fines, Australian Consumer Law violations, and published advice liability.
Do these work for my specific consulting niche?
Yes. Our legal documents for consultants work whether you’re in strategy, marketing, IT, HR, or operations consulting; the framework adapts. The Consulting Agreement has customizable service schedules. The Website Legals work for any professional service. Been tested across 15+ consulting specialties.
Can I modify the templates?
Yes, but be smart about it. Core legal protections shouldn’t change. Service descriptions, payment terms, and schedules are fully customizable. In the instructions (online video & written), we tell you what’s safe to modify and what needs to stay for your protection.
Our legal documents for consultants have been refined over many years, are comprehensive and cover most business situations. If you choose to change them, you do so at your own risk.
Alternatively, we are happy to customise one of our templates to your specific business needs. Use our contact form to request a quote.
Can I add my logo to the final Consulting Agreement?
Yes. The online template generates a PDF document that you can add your logo to by following these instructions.
Are these enforceable if something goes wrong?
Yes. Our Consulting Contract is drafted by Australian lawyers, complies with current Australian laws, is legally binding and ensures your business is legally protected. In addition, all our templates are updated when Australian law changes – so you can be sure you’re using an up-to-date, legally valid agreement.
How long until I can send these to clients?
It takes 10 minutes to complete these legal documents for consultants, and they are immediately ready to send.
The Consulting Agreement has fillable schedules for each client’s specific project. Website Legals are copy-paste ready. If you can fill out a form, you can do this.
What if a client wants to use their agreement instead?
Common situation. Use our agreement as your starting position to identify unfair terms in theirs and what to push back on. Having your own professional agreement gives you leverage – you’re not desperate to accept their terms.
What if Australian law changes?
We update all legal documents for consultants when laws change and email you. No annual fees, no subscription traps. Australian Privacy laws changed twice last year – all our users got updated templates free. Try getting that from your $500/hour lawyer.
Can I get my client to e-sign the Consulting Agreement?
Yes. Our PDF agreements work with all the major eSignature services. We recommend the Adobe Acrobat Sign service, which is built into Adobe Acrobat Standard & Pro. You can find instructions on using Adobe Acrobat Sign here.
Is this a one-time cost or a subscription?
One-time $299. Use forever, unlimited clients, free updates. No hidden fees, no annual renewals, no per-use charges.
Consulting Agreement vs Coaching Services Agreement?
Our Consulting Agreement covers a range of business and professional items, including indemnification for client-provided information, incorporation of quotes and proposals for work, no guarantee of business growth, etc.
Our Coaching Services Agreement covers more personal items, such as no guarantee of progress, no reliance on advice, minimum cancellation period, availability of both parties for coaching sessions, etc.
