Alabama Consulting Agreement — with Former Shareholder refers to a legal contract entered into between a company and a former shareholder who is providing consulting services to the company. This agreement outlines the terms and conditions of the consulting relationship, including the scope of services, compensation, and confidentiality obligations. The agreement typically starts with an introductory section that identifies the parties involved, including the company and the former shareholder, along with their official addresses. It also mentions the effective date of the agreement. Next, the agreement defines the consulting services to be provided by the former shareholder. This may include a description of the specific tasks, projects, or advisory role the shareholder will undertake during the consulting engagement. The agreement should clearly outline the expected deliverables, timelines, and any performance requirements. Compensation is another essential aspect covered in the agreement. It details how and when the former shareholder will be paid for their services. The compensation structure may include a fixed fee, hourly rate, or a combination of both. If expenses are eligible for reimbursement, this section may also specify the applicable reimbursement process. Confidentiality provisions are crucial to protect the company's sensitive information. The agreement should include clauses restricting the former shareholder from disclosing or using confidential information for their personal benefit or for the benefit of any competing entity. Confidentiality obligations typically extend beyond the termination of the agreement. Additionally, the agreement may address intellectual property rights. It may stipulate that any intellectual property created during the consulting engagement will be owned by the company rather than the former shareholder. This clause protects the company's proprietary interests and ensures that any developments or inventions are secured. Other important provisions may include termination clauses, dispute resolution mechanisms, and non-solicitation agreements. Termination provisions outline the circumstances under which either party can terminate the agreement and the notice period required. Dispute resolution mechanisms may establish the use of mediation, arbitration, or court proceedings to resolve any conflicts. Non-solicitation clauses may restrict the former shareholder from recruiting or soliciting the company's employees, customers, or suppliers.
