Key Provisions for Drafting a New York Consulting Agreement
A New York consulting agreement defines the scope of services, compensation, confidentiality obligations, termination rights, and the allocation of risk between the parties. Deliverables are worth itemizing rather than describing in general terms, since scope disputes usually turn on what was promised rather than on what was paid. On payment, General Business Law Article 44-A requires the contract to state the rate and method of compensation, the payment due date, and the date by which the consultant must submit the record of services; where no due date is stated, payment falls due within 30 days of completion, and the hiring party cannot condition timely payment on accepting less than the agreed amount. Termination clauses work better with a notice period and a stated transition obligation — return of materials, handover of work in progress, and what survives — than with a bare right to terminate. On risk, New York enforces limitation-of-liability clauses between commercial parties, but not as to gross negligence or willful misconduct, so a cap drafted to cover everything may be read down to cover less than intended.
