Hello, I have a contract with the agency for an outside IR35 gig. There is a clause to the effect that if the client terminates the contract early, my company would be liable for (indemnify) the agency's fee for the remainder of the duration. Is this normal or should I be pushing back?

Definitely push back. Contracts can be terminated for a whole variety of different reasons, most of them outside of the contractor's control.

Pop the exact wording up, just in case there's a misunderstanding.

So if THEIR client terminates the contractor is responsible for the income the agency should have got from THIER client. That's taking the piss.

I most certainly wouldn't be signing that.

No, it’s not normal and yes, I would push back.

And I would walk away if they don’t budge.
