Free Biotech Consultant
Service Agreement
One contaminated batch or a leaked data set can sink your business and leave you facing a million-dollar lawsuit. Without an ironclad agreement, you're the first person they'll blame when the FDA shuts down the lab.
Pro Contractor Tip
Include a 'Limitation of Liability' clause to ensure you aren't personally responsible for the total cost of a failed R&D project.
Why use a written agreement?
Handshake deals are risky. As a Biotech Consultant, "scope creep" is your biggest enemy. A clear agreement ensures everyone agrees on the deliverables before money changes hands.

Frequently Asked Questions
The client keeps asking for extra data analysis not in the original plan—how do I stop this?
That's scope creep killing your hourly rate; use your contractually defined 'Scope of Work' to trigger a signed Change Order for any work outside the initial list.
How do I avoid getting stiffed if the biotech startup runs out of venture capital mid-project?
Stop working for 'promises' and bake milestone-based payments into the agreement so you're paid in full as soon as a physical deliverable hits their desk.
What happens if their expensive lab gear breaks while I'm using it?
Don't guess on who pays; your contract must specify who provides the insurance coverage for specialized equipment so a hardware failure doesn't bankrupt you.
