Document background
The Project Consultancy Agreement is essential for businesses and organizations operating in Nigeria who engage external expertise for specific projects. This document is crucial when a client requires specialized professional services on a project basis while maintaining a clear consultant-client relationship rather than an employer-employee arrangement. The agreement, governed by Nigerian law, typically includes comprehensive details about project scope, deliverables, timelines, payment terms, and professional obligations. It's particularly important for ensuring compliance with Nigerian corporate, tax, and labor laws while protecting both parties' interests through clear terms on confidentiality, intellectual property rights, and liability limitations. The Project Consultancy Agreement serves as a vital tool for risk management and project governance, especially in complex business environments where clear definition of roles, responsibilities, and deliverables is essential.
