Document background
An Advisory Board Agreement is essential when companies seek to formally engage external experts for strategic guidance and industry insights. This document, governed by Singapore law, establishes the framework for the advisory relationship, including scope of services, compensation, confidentiality, and intellectual property rights. It differs from director agreements as advisory board members typically have no fiduciary duties or voting rights. The agreement ensures compliance with Singapore's regulatory requirements while protecting both parties' interests through clear terms and conditions.
