New Brunswick courts apply the Sagaz Industries test (2001 SCC 59) to determine independent contractor status, examining control, ownership of tools, chance of profit, and risk of loss. The CRA and New Brunswick's Employment Standards Division both assess worker classifications. Misclassification triggers liability for CPP contributions, EI premiums, and penalties under New Brunswick's Employment Standards Act. A written consulting agreement is critical.
Whether you're engaging a forestry management consultant for timber operations, hiring a bilingual customer service advisor for call center operations in Moncton and Fredericton, or bringing on an aquaculture specialist for salmon farming in the Bay of Fundy, your agreement must define the engagement clearly. New Brunswick is Canada's only officially bilingual province, and consulting agreements may need to address language requirements.
SignAI generates your New Brunswick consulting agreement with proper legal provisions — including independent contractor clauses reflecting the Sagaz test and CRA guidelines, IP assignment terms valid under the Canadian Copyright Act, confidentiality protections, HST considerations, and governing law clauses selecting New Brunswick jurisdiction.

FAQ
Yes. A consulting agreement is a legally enforceable contract under New Brunswick law. With mutual consideration, clear terms, and valid signatures, New Brunswick courts will uphold it. SignAI's e-signatures are valid under New Brunswick's Electronic Transactions Act and the federal PIPEDA.
New Brunswick courts apply the Sagaz Industries test, examining control over work, ownership of tools, chance of profit, and risk of loss. The CRA also assesses these factors. A written consulting agreement documenting the contractor's independence is essential evidence.
New Brunswick courts enforce non-compete agreements when reasonable in scope, duration, and geographic area. The restriction must protect a legitimate business interest. Courts may sever unreasonable provisions.
If the consultant's revenue exceeds $30,000 over four consecutive calendar quarters, they must register for and charge HST (15% in New Brunswick). The agreement should specify whether fees are inclusive or exclusive of HST. The consultant handles their own remittances.
Under the Canadian Copyright Act, the creator generally owns the copyright unless there is a written assignment. Include an IP assignment clause and a moral rights waiver in your consulting agreement.
