An Advisor Contract is essential when engaging external expertise for specific business needs while maintaining clear boundaries of the professional relationship. This document, governed by Hong Kong law, establishes the framework for advisory services provided to companies operating in or from Hong Kong. The contract defines the scope of services, remuneration, and key obligations while ensuring compliance with Hong Kong regulations such as the Contract Ordinance, Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance, and where applicable, the Securities and Futures Ordinance. It's particularly important in protecting intellectual property, maintaining confidentiality, and clearly establishing the advisor's independent contractor status. The Advisor Contract should be customized based on the nature of services, industry-specific requirements, and whether the advisor is an individual or a firm.
