The Consulting Liability Waiver serves as a critical risk management tool for consultants and consulting firms operating in New Zealand. This document is essential when providing professional advice, recommendations, or services where the consultant needs to limit their exposure to potential claims while maintaining compliance with New Zealand law. It is particularly relevant in situations where consultants make recommendations that may impact significant business decisions or operations. The waiver addresses various aspects of liability limitation, including but not limited to financial losses, implementation risks, and third-party claims, while ensuring compliance with New Zealand's regulatory framework, including the Contract and Commercial Law Act 2017 and Fair Trading Act 1986. This document should be implemented at the outset of any consulting engagement where the scope of work involves significant decision-making influence or high-value recommendations.
