Our business uses Consultants on zero hours associate consultant contracts to deliver services to our clients.
I'd like someone to review and update the zero hours associate contract we use when we appoint a new consultant as an associate. Work is referred on a client by client basis, in return for agreed consultancy fees.
As well as working with clients, some business development work is done by associate consultants on a fixed term, project basis, in return for a retainer paid monthly. Project outcomes/brief are outlined via a schedule to the consultancy agreement.
Plus, I'd like an IP clause adding which defines ownership of website content authored or recorded in video format by an associate consultant. The company retaining ownership of all software, websites and data. Some shared ownership of content authored by the consultant.
I need the contract to define who retains ownership of this IP above, if the associate consultant decides to terminate the contract at various stages of the working relationship. EG during first 12 months, ownership of all IP is automatically returned to the Company. After 2 years, 3 years etc. Need advice on this.
Aim is to ensure we protect the Company investment in the Consultant's work/websites/software/admin staff, seeing financial return at a high enough level, before the Consultant retains their co-ownership of content they have authored, even if they terminate the contract.
Where shared ownership is retained, Company needs first refusal to buy the consultant out of their right-value to be agreed via an independent third party perhaps?
