The Master Consulting Agreement serves as a foundational document for establishing long-term consulting relationships in Nigeria. It is designed for situations where a client anticipates requiring ongoing consulting services across multiple projects or engagements, rather than a one-off consultation. This agreement streamlines the engagement process by setting out standard terms upfront, while allowing flexibility for specific project details to be agreed upon through work orders. The document ensures compliance with Nigerian legal requirements, including the Contract Act, Labour Act, and data protection regulations. It typically includes provisions for service scope, fees, intellectual property rights, confidentiality, and dispute resolution, while accommodating local content requirements where applicable. The Master Consulting Agreement is particularly valuable for businesses seeking to maintain consistent terms across multiple consulting engagements while reducing negotiation time and legal costs for individual projects.
