Statement of Work (SOW)

A Statement of Work defines the specific deliverables, timelines, and responsibilities under a broader master agreement. This playbook offers frameworks for drafting precise scopes, managing milestones, and mitigating disputes over performance.

Compliance & Regulatory

Why This Matters: Non-compliance can lead to fines, sanctions, and contract termination, threatening business continuity and reputation. Clear obligations mitigate legal and operational risks.

Negotiation strategy

If you're the Customer:

Ensure that all compliance obligations are clearly outlined and that the Contractor is required to provide regular compliance reports. Negotiate for audit rights to verify adherence to these obligations.

If you're the Contractor:

Seek to limit the scope of compliance obligations to those directly relevant to the services provided. Propose reasonable notice periods for audits and ensure confidentiality of audit findings.
