The Freelance Retainer Contract is designed for situations where a business requires regular access to a freelancer's services without creating an employment relationship. This document, governed by English and Welsh law, provides a framework for ongoing collaboration while protecting both parties' interests. It typically includes detailed service specifications, payment terms, intellectual property provisions, and clear distinctions from employment contracts to ensure IR35 compliance. The agreement is particularly useful for long-term professional relationships where work volume may vary but regular availability is required.
