Consultant Services Master Agreement

"I need a Consultant Services Master Agreement under Dutch law for our IT consulting firm that specializes in cybersecurity services, with robust data protection provisions and the ability to engage consultants across the EU starting March 2025."

Document background
This Consultant Services Master Agreement serves as the primary contractual framework for organizations engaging external consultants or consulting firms in the Netherlands. It is specifically designed to comply with Dutch legal requirements while providing a flexible structure for multiple service engagements. The agreement is particularly useful for long-term consulting relationships where specific services will be defined through individual service orders over time. It incorporates necessary provisions to ensure compliance with Dutch self-employment regulations (Wet DBA), data protection laws (GDPR and Dutch implementation), and tax requirements. The agreement carefully balances the need for comprehensive legal protection with practical commercial considerations, making it suitable for both routine consulting engagements and complex professional service relationships.
