Outsourcing contracts

Outsourcing agreements: Legal contracts prepared by expert commercial lawyers

Outsourcing work can have many advantages for a business - perhaps to reduce your costs, get in a specialist, free-up management time or even create a bit more office space. Whatever your reasons, it's vital you get expert legal advice to help draw up the contract.

Outsourcing contracts

You’ll need to have a robust contract in place with your suppliers which covers all the necessary issues including pinning down some of the more abstract areas. Your contract should cover:

services to be provided
quality standards
price
staffing
what happens at the end of the contractual period
managing handover from one supplier to another, to make sure that standards are maintained during the changeover period
any detailed legal and regulatory requirements which may apply, for example in the public sector.
