What is an advisor agreement?

An Advisor agreement is a legal contract between a company (often a startup or early-stage business) and an individual or entity providing advisory services. This agreement outlines the terms and conditions of the advisory relationship, including the scope of the advisor’s responsibilities, compensation structure, confidentiality obligations, and other relevant provisions.

Advisor agreements are important documents for formalizing the relationship between a company and its advisors, clarifying expectations, and protecting the interests of both parties.

Tips

• Define Clear Objectives: Clearly outline the goals and expectations for the advisory relationship. Define the specific areas where the advisor’s expertise and guidance will be valuable to the company.
• Clarify Responsibilities: Clearly define the scope of the advisor’s responsibilities, including their role, duties, and expected level of involvement.
• Document Changes in Writing: Any amendments or modifications to the content license agreement should be documented in writing and signed by both parties. Keep thorough records of all communications and agreements related to the license arrangement.
