ADVISORY AGREEMENT
THIS ADVISORY AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is made and entered into as of the [DATE] by and between [NAME], a [JURISDICTION] corporation (hereinafter called the “Company”), and [NAME] (hereinafter called “Advisor”).
1. Term and Services:
1.1 Term. The Company hereby agrees to engage Advisor and the Advisor hereby agrees to serve the Company, on the terms and conditions set forth herein, for the period commencing on the date hereof and expiring on [DATE] (the “Initial Term”) unless sooner terminated as hereinafter set forth. This Agreement shall be extended for an additional [YEARS] term (the “Renewal Term,” and collectively with the Initial Term, the “Term”) upon prior written mutual agreement between the Company and the Advisor of at least ninety (90) days prior to the expiration of the Initial Term.
1.2 Services of Advisor. The Advisor shall serve as Strategic and Business Advisor. The Advisor shall render such services as provided in this Section 1.2 to the best of his ability, and use his reasonable best efforts to promote the interests of the Company. The Advisor is permitted to pursue other business activities so long as the same do not conflict or compete with the business of the Company or the Advisor’s ability to provide the services as provided in this Section 1.2 to the Company and so long as such activities do not significantly interfere with the performance of the Advisor’s responsibilities as a service provider to the Company in accordance with this Agreement. The Advisor’s obligations hereunder shall run only to the Company and its subsidiaries, and not to the Company’s other affiliates, if any.

Templates in our curated library are professionally drafted for US or UK law. The wider library comes from the GitLaw community and public sources - a solid starting point, but check any template fits your situation before you rely on it.
Mostly US and UK law. Some templates use general commercial terms that work across jurisdictions, and many note which law they're written for.
It depends on the situation. Templates work well for routine business agreements. For anything involving significant money, complex IP, employment, or areas you're unsure about, it's worth getting professional advice before you sign. GitLaw provides templates and tools, not legal advice.
Open any template in GitLaw and describe the change you want in the chat — 'make clause 4 mutual' or 'add a 30-day notice period', for example. GitLaw drafts the revised language and shows it as a suggested edit. You accept, reject, or keep editing from there.
Yes. Upload a Word, PDF, or Markdown file and GitLaw will open it in the editor. You can review, edit, or chat with GitLaw about it the same way you would with any template from the library.
