CONTRACT MANAGEMENT
Contract Management, Fast & Compliant
Whether you are a freelancer or an employee needing compliant contracts, a recruiter looking to place talent quickly, or a business needing risk free engagement solutions, our team acts as your partner every step of the way.
FAQ
What is Contract Management?
Contract management covers the entire lifecycle of an employment contract or, in the case of freelancing/self-employment, a service contract — from drafting compliant agreements to managing renewals and ensuring ongoing adherence to local labour laws, tax regulations, and social contributions (where applicable).
Legislation can change mid-assignment, deliverables and expectations may be updated, and different rules may apply depending on a worker’s nationality or employment status. A robust contract management service continuously monitors these variables, updates agreements, handles negotiations, and provides transparency so that all parties clearly understand their rights and obligations.
Access Financial combines advanced technology with expert legal support to manage the entire contract lifecycle. Our experienced legal team drafts locally compliant agreements tailored to the needs of all stakeholders, while our client care team ensures a smooth onboarding process for contractors and employees alike. We stay up to date with legislative changes in over 60 countries, ensuring your contracts remain compliant and your projects move forward without unexpected regulatory issues.
