Outsourcing Contracts
Are you looking to delegate one or several functions of your business to an external provider? If so, you will want to be sure that the legal agreement you reach with the outsourcing supplier – known as an “outsourcing contract” – caters to your organisation’s needs.

Our team at Cranbrook Legal can help, advise, and guide you in relation to many different aspects of outsourcing contracts for your organisation.
You might initially approach us because you would like our commercial lawyer to review, draft, and even help negotiate a particular proposed agreement. This will enable you to be sure of your business’s interests being protected.
However, we can also essentially act as a legal advisor to your organisation throughout the entirety of the outsourcing process. This can include helping you identify critical aspects of an outsourcing contract to negotiate, in addition to pinpointing potential legal risks, so that your organisation can take steps to mitigate them.
When you are putting together an outsourcing agreement, making sure the contract includes the following provisions will help give your business the best possible protection:
There are various steps that you can take to make sure the scope of work and deliverables in your organisation’s next outsourcing contract are clearly defined.
You should, for example, make sure a detailed description of the services to be provided is laid out in the contract. All expected deliverables should be listed with specific timelines, and any exclusions or limitations will need to be clearly outlined.
When you are detailing the scope of work and deliverables in your organisation’s outsourcing agreement, you should make sure precise language is always used to avoid ambiguity.
When a business outsources functions to an external provider, a key risk that might arise is a dispute or confusion with regard to who owns the intellectual property (IP) rights for any work or product the third-party provider creates.
Your organisation may adopt certain strategies to help guard against this risk in its outsourcing contracts. Here at Cranbrook Legal, we can help make sure your next outsourcing agreement clearly defines IP ownership and outlines any usage rights and restrictions that may apply.
Confidentiality and data protection are vital factors for a business to address in its outsourcing contracts. Certain key clauses in the agreement will help with this.
Such clauses will likely include a clear definition of confidential information, as well as obligations to maintain confidentiality, and specific security measures to be implemented.

Care Home Sponsor Licence Application!
We used Cranbrook Legal for the processing of a Sponsor Licence Application. We are a Health Care provider and have faced huge difficulties in recruiting for our Care Homes. Amer and his team were quick to identify the documents needed for our specific case and they were able to prepare a really strong application. I have no doubt that the really good Cover Letter convinced the Home Office to approve our Application. Thanks again, superb work!

Your business’s outsourcing agreement should clearly set out the preferred method for resolving disagreements between the contracting parties.
Typically, outsourcing contracts take a tiered approach to dispute resolution. Such agreements usually state that as a first course of action, the parties must try to resolve disputes through good-faith negotiation and direct communication.
If this initial approach is not sufficient for resolving a given dispute, the contract is likely to set out conditions under which mediation, and then arbitration, may be pursued.
If you are still in the process of drafting an outsourcing agreement, you will need to give careful consideration to the termination clauses to include.
You might, for example, decide to include a termination clause “for convenience” – in other words, the contract can be terminated without any specific cause being given.
Termination of an outsourcing contract might also be possible as a result of a significant breach of contract, one party becoming insolvent, or the parties mutually agreeing to terminate the agreement, to cite just some possibilities.
If your organisation has an existing outsourcing contract and you wish to terminate it, you will need to locate the termination clause in the agreement, and understand the specific conditions that allow for termination.
If your organisation is seeking to terminate an outsourcing agreement, certain processes may need to be followed. These steps may include a written termination notice being sent to the outsourcing provider, in compliance with a required notice period before the termination officially takes effect.
Why Choose Us For Your Outsourcing Contracts?
Through the implementation of various monitoring and auditing provisions, your organisation can keep a close watch over the outsourcing supplier’s performance. This will help you verify that the other party is adhering to agreed service levels as laid out in the contract.
In cases where the outsourced function is of particularly critical importance to the operation of your business as a whole, you might go as far as including step-in rights as part of the outsourcing contract.
Such rights could enable your organisation to assume management control over outsourced services in the event of the supplier’s level of service falling and remaining below what was agreed in the contract.
