Employment - Contractor And Consultancy Agreements

Our team regularly advise clients on the engagement of consultants and contractors.

Advice includes issues surrounding employment status and the potential tax consequences of such arrangements.

We also advise clients in relation to the engagement of workers through umbrella companies, managed service companies and the IR35 tax provisions.

Recent examples of work in this area include:

• Advising a large international manufacturing company on the engagement of engineering contractors to help meet their growing need for design expertise. Given the nature of their work, this required particular focus on the confidentiality and intellectual property elements of their engagement
• Advising an umbrella employer on the tax and employment status consequences of engaging individuals through their umbrella employer structure

Please contact a member of the team to discuss any issues relating to contractors or consultancy agreements.
