Outsourcing Agreement

An Outsourcing Agreement governs the delegation of business functions to an external provider, defining scope, service levels, and performance standards. This playbook highlights key risk mitigation strategies for data protection, continuity, and liability allocation.

Dispute Resolution

Why This Matters: Unfavorable jurisdiction or cumbersome procedures can delay resolution, increase costs, and create enforceability hurdles, so clear and balanced provisions reduce uncertainty.

Negotiation strategy

If you're the Company:

Ensure the governing law and jurisdiction are favorable to your business operations. Negotiate for arbitration to minimize litigation costs and time.

If you're the Service Provider:

Advocate for a neutral jurisdiction and mediation as a first step to resolve disputes amicably. Ensure the dispute resolution process is cost-effective.
