Q&A for Consultancy T&Cs

Do these T&Cs allow the consultant to sub-contract to others? Or must the consultant do all the work under the T&Cs itself?

The T&Cs enable you to adapt the document for either, by the simple expedient of including or excluding the word "not":

"The Consultant may not subcontract any of its obligations under the Agreement to any third party."

In some cases, you may want to specify those obligations that can and cannot be subcontracted. In other cases, you may want to specify those persons to whom such obligaions can or cannot be subcontracted.

How are intellectual property rights in the work product of the consultant dealt with in these T&Cs?

There are two different options: an assignment of IP rights or a licence of IP rights. An assignment is a transfer of ownership, whereas a licence is a right to do some defined thing or things without infringing the underlying IP.
