Consulting Agreement Template for Canada (Ontario)
Consulting agreements in Ontario are governed by common law contract principles. Ontario's Business Corporations Act and common law both influence commercial agreements — clear scope of work, deliverables, and payment terms are essential to avoid disputes in Ontario's courts.
Canada (Ontario)-specific legal consideration
Ontario courts apply a doctrine of good faith in contractual performance (Bhasin v Hrynew, 2014 SCC 71) — consulting agreements should expressly address how scope changes, disputes, and early termination are handled in good faith.
