Document background
The Termination of Consultancy Agreement is utilized when parties wish to formally end their consultancy relationship under Swiss law. This document is essential when either the company or consultant decides to conclude their professional engagement, whether at the natural end of the contract term or through early termination. It comprehensively addresses all aspects of the separation, including final payments, intellectual property rights, confidentiality obligations, and the return of company property. The agreement ensures compliance with Swiss legal requirements, particularly the provisions of the Swiss Code of Obligations regarding mandate agreements. It provides legal certainty for both parties by clearly defining the termination terms, managing outstanding obligations, and establishing post-termination responsibilities. This document is particularly important in preventing future disputes by obtaining mutual releases and clearly documenting the agreed terms of separation.
