Why Do I Need a Master Services Agreement?
A Master Service Agreement represents the understanding relating to a service provider’s work for a client. If your business provides or hires others to provide services, a clear and concise master services agreement, an “MSA Contract,” can help ensure you get what you pay for. We assist businesses with the preparation and negotiation of master service agreements.
The Importance of a Well-Written Master Services Agreement
Although every professional services transaction has unique nuances and challenges that must be adequately addressed in the MSA Contract, some key areas of an MSA Contract include: choice of law and forum; scope of work; confidentiality; independent contractor relationship; and ownership of intellectual property. A clear and comprehensive MSA Contract can help prevent disputes between clients and service providers caused by misunderstandings or differing expectations.
Don’t Fall For DIY, Free, or Generic Online Forms
Some companies try to minimize expenses by copying documents found online or using cheap online services hoping they have done things correctly. There is a danger with cookie-cutter forms and “do it yourself” in that, if the MSA Contract isn’t comprehensive and clear for your specific situation, it may not adequately protect your particular interests.
Every situation is unique, and the MSA Contract should be drafted in light of the specific nuances and concerns of each transaction. As such, the MSA Contract requires careful review and drafting by experienced MSA Contract attorneys.
