Why this matters

Consulting contracts often fail because deliverables are loosely defined and change requests are unmanaged. The legal and commercial result is predictable: disputes over what was promised and whether payment is due.

The Atornee approach

Before you sign checklist

1

FAQ

Should I combine MSA and SOW in one document?

For smaller engagements it can work, but as complexity grows, separating framework and statement-of-work content usually improves control.

Can this help with recurring retainers?

Yes. The same structure can be adapted for recurring scopes, with periodic review and change mechanisms built in.
