“Successors and Assigns” Clause – Probably Valuable, If Correctly Written

  • Post author: Alan L Sklover
  • Post published: 07/15/08

“Carelessness is worse than theft.”

– Gaelic Proverb

ACTUAL CASE HISTORY: Shortly after college, at age 23, Simon was hired by a family-owned real estate development firm as a Project Manager. At first he was given rather simple tasks, like making sure that “punch list” items – those last, small items on every job, such as replacing cracked windows and burned-out light bulbs – were attended to. With his attention to detail and rare perseverance, Simon’s reputation as a good employee blossomed. By age 29, he was supervising construction crews and overseeing condo sales teams. And as his responsibilities grew, so did his compensation. By age 31, Simon’s annual salary and bonus exceeded $200,000.

To keep Simon motivated, each year he was awarded bonuses of $100,000, to be paid to him $25,000 per year, for four years, in the last week of December. To discourage Simon from going into business for himself, the company’s owners promised him he would be an owner of at least 20% if he stayed another five years. A written employment contract was prepared for Simon to sign. It was to last 5 years. After his cousin Barbara, an immigration attorney, reviewed and approved the contract, Simon signed it.

Two years later the family that owned the company was offered $25 million for it by a publicly-traded REIT (shorthand for real estate investment trust.) The REIT was going to do an “asset purchase,” which means that Simon’s company would be selling its assets, not the stock of the company, itself, a common way to buy a business. The family members were elated. Simon was concerned; he wanted to know what this meant for him. After all, he wasn’t really “family.” He was assured that this would be a great thing for him, too. He even met with his new bosses, and they seemed to be true professionals.

After the sale of the business’s assets, Simon was given greater responsibilities, and oversight, as the old crew became a new division of the REIT. He was confident that things would go quite well. When Christmas time came around, Simon was waiting for word regarding when he would receive the “first” $25,000 installment he was owed for last year’s bonus, and the “second” $25,000 installment he was due from the bonus of the year before. When he was told “There must be some mistake, because we don’t give bonuses,” his heart sank. Then Simon inquired about the 20% of the company that he was to receive in two years. When he was told “You must be confused,” his heart skipped a few beats. He was crestfallen.

After “the lawyers did their thing,” Simon learned that those two big promises in his employment contract – for his $100,000 bonuses, and for his 20% business ownership – were promises of the “old” company, not the “new” company he now worked for. If he was to collect on those promises, he had to collect from the old company. Problem was, there was no more “old” company to collect from. The company, itself, had no more assets; all had been sold. The monies derived from the sale of the company’s assets were divided up among the 23 family members, who lived in states from Maine to California. While each family member he spoke with was sympathetic, none was willing to pay him from their own pockets. Instead, each suggested “Speak to your lawyer.”

While his lawyer, Cousin Barbara, couldn’t seem to explain what had happened, she sure seemed upset. Simon had lost $175,000 in bonuses, but far, far worse, 20% of a $25 million company, worth $5 million. A big loss, and an easily avoidable one, at that. All because one single, simple sentence was missing from his contract: the “Successors and Assigns” clause.

If only they’d added a sentence that read something like this: “The rights and obligations of the parties to this agreement will be binding on, and will be of benefit to, each of the parties’ successors, assigns, heirs and estates.” That would have made the “successor” REIT bound to the agreement (and benefit Simon’s estate, if he passed on.) One simple sentence can be worth so very much.

LESSON TO LEARN: An agreement binds only the parties to that agreement. Most agreements are between two parties: in sales agreements, they are the (a) buyer and (b) seller; in lease agreements, they are the (a) landlord and (b) tenant; in employment agreements, they are the (a) employer and (b) employee. No one else is bound. Most importantly, anyone who later “takes the place:” of one of the parties is not bound. That’s usually a problem. The solution? It is a “successors-and-assigns clause.”

Imagine the following: You rent an office from the owner of an office building. You paint, put down carpet, install lighting, buy custom-fit furniture, have stationery printed with your new address on it, and move in. The next month someone new buys the building. The new owner stops by and says, “Nice to meet you. Your rent has been tripled.” You say, “But I have a signed lease.” He says, “Not with me, you don’t.” That’s what a “successors-and-assigns” clause is meant to prevent.

A standard “successors-and-assigns” clause reads like this: “This Agreement is binding upon, and will inure to the benefit of, the parties to this agreement, and their respective successors and/or assigns.” (A slightly more comprehensive variation would be this: “This Agreement is binding upon, and shall inure to the benefit of the parties themselves, as well as their respective representatives, successors, permitted assigns, heirs and estates.”)

In employment agreements, and all employment-related agreements that give you something (including stock option agreements, commission agreements, and deferred compensation agreements) it is essential that you have a “successors-and-assigns” clause. (On the other hand, any agreements that “take” something from you – such as a non-compete agreement, that takes your freedom from you – is better for you if it fails to have such a clause.)

Any employer could be merged or acquired out of existence. Any employer could decide to sell its assets, divvy up the sale proceeds, and then simply go out of legal existence. Any employer could find other ways, too, to deny you what you have been promised, and have earned. The key to preventing this is simple: make sure you have a “successors-and-assigns clause” in your agreement. Otherwise, all you’ve worked so hard for could be lost, without a chance of getting it back.

WHAT YOU CAN DO: This is how you can protect yourself:

1. In Every Agreement, Always Look for the “Successors-and-Assigns” Clause: No matter what type of agreement you are looking at, always look for the “successor-and-assigns” clause. As a matter of customary contract drafting, if it’s there you will usually find it among the last four or five sections in an agreement. It might be labeled “Parties Bound,” “Binding Upon” or “Successors and Assigns,” or any number of other titles. It might also be “buried” among other provisions, with a totally unrelated title. (That’s why we read every word.) Such a clause should be present in every employment agreement, stock option agreement, restricted stock agreement, commission agreement, indemnity agreement, retention agreement, and everything “in between.”

2. If It’s Not There, Always Ask for It: There is nothing improper, impolite or aggressive in asking that a “successors-and-assigns” clause be added to your agreement. It’s “standard” language in business agreements, and employment agreements are a type of business agreement. It could be said that the absence of a “successors-and-assigns” clause in an employment agreement (or one related to employment), in and of itself, has profound consequences, because it suggests the parties did not intend that the successor employer should provide to the employee what the original employer did not. Think about it: if you work for a small accounting firm, and you are promised a bonus of $10,000 if you stay for two years; if your accounting firm is merged with a larger one, and you stay the two years, what was intended: that you’d get paid the bonus, or that you would not? The absence of a “successors-and-assigns” clause says, simply, “It was intended you would not.” If you ask for a “successors-and-assigns” clause, and are turned down, you can safely assume there is a reason for that denial, and that the reason is not a good one for you.

3. The Two Exceptions: When It’s Truly Not Intended, and When It Makes No Sense: There are two circumstances in which we do not expect a “successors-and-assigns” clause. First, in some circumstances it is not intended that a “successor” or “assignee” be obligated to the “other side.” For example, if you were promised a bonus that was to be paid to you only if the company was not sold; then in the event of a sale, it was not intended you would receive a bonus. In that case, the successor paying you a bonus was not intended. Second, for the employee, it would not make sense to ask for a “successors-and-assigns” clause in a non-compete agreement, because then it is not in his or her interests; in that case, asking for one to be put in makes no sense. If the employer did not have the sense to insert it, don’t wave flags.

4. Watch Out for the “Old One-Way Trick”: Occasionally we see what we view to be dishonest lawyering by attempted trickery, most commonly by those in large law firms who have been told and taught they are “the cleverest.” This is what we call the “Old One-Way Trick”: “The obligations and interests of the parties under this agreement shall inure to the benefit of the employer, and its representatives, successors and assigns, and be binding upon the employee, his/her representatives, successors and assigns.” Read the words carefully: notice that the way it is worded, (a) the employer (and its successors and assigns) enjoys the benefits of the agreement, but not its burdens, and (b) the employee (and his/her successors and assigns) suffers the agreements burdens, but fail to enjoy its benefits. The first time I saw this I was upset; the tenth time, I was surprised; now I simply send an email to the senior partner of the opposing firm reminding him that this is not how law used to be practiced.

5. It’s Especially Important When Working for a Smaller “LLC” and “INC.”: As in our case history above, it is most important to have a “successors-and-assigns” clause when working for a smaller limited liability company or corporation. Why? Because they are more likely to be purchased, merged or dissolved. In each instance, you want the party who takes over or receives the remaining assets to be liable to you. In companies owned by the grandchildren of the founder, it is essential, as they are notorious for not getting along with each other, “running down” the company, and wanting to “cash out” the company.

6. Your Employer Being Sold or Merged? Send an Email Reminder: Surprises in business are usually not fun. If the company that acquired your employer is not aware that you are owed a $50,000 retention bonus, or eighty-two accrued vacation days, you might engender ill will when you ask for payment. Instead, send an email to General Counsel of your own employer, not the other side, and write “It is my expectation that the new acquirer is aware of my rights and interests, which are binding on successors and assigns. If not, please ensure that they are.” That will place your company’s primary attorney in a place where he or she will either (a) let the acquirer know, or (b) likely be later accused of fraud. Let him or her do your duty.

7. Sound Like a “Hassle?” Remember You Are Doing This for Your Loved Ones, and Heirs: Sure, looking for, and asking for, a “successors-and-assigns” clause in your employment-related agreements may sound like a hassle, and today is not the day you needed more hassles in your life. However, the absence of such a clause may deny what you’ve earned today to you and your family another day. And don’t forget: in the event of your passing, your heirs are your successors, will be without you being there for them, and so will have a greater need for what you’ve earned.

Getting Rid of the “Successors and Assigns” Provision

17 June 2013 18 September 2006 | Ken Adams

[ Update June 17, 2013:  Go  here  for the June 15, 2013 post about my article  It’s Time to Get Rid of the “Successors and Assigns” Provision .]

[ Update April 12, 2013: For more recent posts about the “successors and assigns” provision, see “The ‘Successors and Assigns’ and Successor Liability” ( here ) and “The Illinois Appellate Court’s Problematic Take on the Traditional Recital of Consideration and ‘Successors and Assigns’ Provisions” ( here ).]

A standard ingredient of contract boilerplate is the “successors and assigns” provision. Here’s what a run-of-the-mill successors and assigns provision looks like:

This agreement is binding upon, and inures to the benefit of, the parties and their respective permitted successors and assigns.

I’ve long considered the successors and assigns provision to be one of the abiding mysteries of contract drafting. After some research, I’ve decided to dispense with it. Allow me to explain why:

(For purposes of the following discussion, bear in mind that an assignment occurs when one party transfers to a nonparty its right to receive the other party’s performance. The transferring party is the “assignor”; the nonparty to whom the right is assigned is the “assignee”; and the party who must perform in favor of the assignee is the “nonassigning party.”)

When I want to research a contract provision that constitutes boilerplate, I generally start by consulting Negotiating and Drafting Contract Boilerplate (Tina L. Stark ed. 2003). That’s what I did in this case—it has a chapter devoted to the successors and assigns provision.

According to Tina’s book, the case law suggests that the successors and assigns provision could have up to five different functions. (That courts should have read so much into the successors and assigns provision suggests how problematic it is.) I list these ostensible functions below, along with my take on them.

1. To Bind an Assignee to Perform: According to Tina’s book, some courts have held that a successors and assigns provision in a contract binds the assignee of any rights under that contract to perform the assignor’s obligations under that contract. But such a holding is inconsistent with accepted law. Privity of contract dictates that whether the assignee assumes the assignor’s obligations would be a function of whether the assignee has agreed to do so. See 9-48 Corbin on Contracts § 871 (“But if the assignee is held to be bound by a legal duty to render the service, it will be because he expressed an intention to assume it when he took the assignment.”) The contract between the assignor and the nonassigning party would have no bearing on the issue, and a successors and assigns provision in that contract would be ineffective as a means of binding the assignee of any rights under that contract to perform the assignor’s obligations under that contract.

2. To Bind a Nonassigning Party: Tina’s book says that a second purpose of the successors and assigns provision is to restate common law to the effect that after an assignment, the nonassigning party is obligated to perform in favor of the assignee. This is indeed the common law. See 9-48 Corbin on Contracts § 870 (“The effectiveness of an assignment does not depend upon the assent of the obligor. If in other respects the assignment is good, his duty is now a duty to the assignee ….”). But why bother restating the common law? If a party is permitted to assign its rights under a contract, it’s obvious that the nonassigning party must perform in favor of the assignee—otherwise, being able to assign your rights would be of no value. Whereas it’s sometimes useful to state in a contract what would apply anyway—particularly when the parties might otherwise be unaware—doing so to this extent would seem excessive.

3. To Determine Whether Rights Are Assignable: Some courts have relied on the successors and assigns provision to determine whether a party may assign its rights under a contract. It’s standard practice to address that issue in a separate section; if you do so, you certainly wouldn’t need the inscrutable language of a successors and assigns provision, too. And if you don’t address assignment in a separate section, you’d be advised to dispense with the successors and assigns provision, lest a court look there for guidance on assignment.

4. To Determine Whether Performance Is Delegable: And some courts have relied on the successors and assigns provision to determine whether a party may delegate its obligations under a contract. The same considerations apply in this context as apply to the question of whether rights are assignable.

5. To Bind the Parties to the Contract: If you take at face value the traditional language of a successors and assigns provision, it indicates that the parties intend to be legally bound. Such a statement would be ineffective, as it isn’t a condition to enforceability of a contract that the parties have, or explicitly express, an intent to be legally bound. See MSCD 2.29 and Farnsworth on Contracts § 3.7.

So, to summarize, here’s what I think, from the drafter’s perspective, of the five ostensible functions of a successors and assigns provision: (1) ineffective; (2) too obvious; (3) wrong place to address this issue; (4) wrong place to address this issue; and (5) ineffective.

Tina’s book suggests that the problem with the traditional successors and assigns provision is that “the provision is so truncated that its objectives are veiled.” I, on the other hand, think that the problem is that it’s a provision without a useful purpose. That raises the question of how it has come to be a fixture in contracts.

Whenever you have a contract provision that serves no useful purpose and is incoherent to boot, somehow that helps ensure its survival—because drafters are unsure what function it serves, they’re loath to delete it. Take, for instance, the traditional recital of consideration—even though it serves no purpose ( MSCD 2.63–71 and this article ), you can still find it in a large proportion of contracts. I suggest that this phenomenon helps explain why the traditional successors and assigns provision hasn’t been put out of its misery.

Tina’s book offers an alternative successors and assigns provision, one that ostensibly “clarifies the provision’s purpose and application.” But the first two subsections of the alternative provision—the other two address ancillary matters—serve to perform two of the five ostensible functions described earlier in the chapter, namely functions 2 and 1, respectively. So while the alternative provision may serve to clarify its purpose, that’s of little use if one purpose would be to state the obvious and the other would be ineffective.

So you’d be better off omitting the successors and assigns provision from your drafting. It serves no useful purpose, it’s confusing, and its incoherence gives courts leeway to find in it what they want to find. And reworking it to make it clearer would only serve to make more apparent the lack of a useful purpose.

26 thoughts on “Getting Rid of the “Successors and Assigns” Provision”

Let me suggest a possible purpose for the “successors and assigns” clause – a variation on #1: To assure that, if either party sells all or substantially all of its assets (or merges into another firm), the asset sale (or merger agreement) will include a clause specifically committing the purchaser (or successor-in-interest) to continue performing the contract.

To be sure, the clause itself would have to be amended to make that purpose clear.

Robert: The provision you mention could indeed be a helpful one, but as you suggest you can’t possibly get there through the standard “successors and assigns” provision. Ken

I had assumed (and now question) that ‘permitted successors’ addressed the issue of a contracting party changing legal form (e.g., changing from an LLC to an S-corp).

Nestor: Often the first words out of a drafter’s mouth after any drafting mishap are “I assumed ….” :-) Ken

Ken, I think your article focuses too much on the ‘assigns’ part of the clause. A possible context where the ‘successors and assigns’ clause may be meaningful is in mergers: the company (A) that is merged into another (B) ceases to exist and its contractual relationships devolve upon the the company it is merged into (B). This is not an assignment and is therefore outside the scope of the section where you define whether consent is required. I am not an American lawyer but this would be treated under the law applicable in my country (Portugal) as a ‘legal succession’ and the clause would therefore clarify that the other party to a contract with (A) that includes such clause keeps all rights and obligations vis-a-vis company B. Luis

Luis: You’re seeking to attribute to the “successors and assigns” provision a function that would be redundant for contract purposes: under state statutory law, if Company A merges into Company B, Company B automatically assumes all Company A’s obligations.

And secondarily, as I explained in my original post, a contract between Company A and some other party would be an unpromising vehicle for imposing obligations on Company B.

Ken, I am very happy that I came across your article — I was actually researching this issue myself with respect to the scenario suggested above by Robert Sonenthal. In the matter I was recently working on there was a provision in a contract that was binding on the purchaser of a business and its “successors and assigns.” That party is now selling the business and the question was raised as to whether that provision would be binding on the new buyers in the context of an asset purchase agreement. In my view, the draftsman of the original contract may have had the intention of binding all future successors in interest, but this was not specified in the original contract. As you note in your response to Robert Sonenthal (which I agree with), I don’t see how you would be able to bind a future purchaser with the standard “successors and assigns” provision alone. Your article provided excellent authority in an area that most practioners do not stop to think about – thank you!

All of your points are all well-taken, rational and coherent; conceptually hard to argue with. That being said, I defer to what has worked, and continues to work, for me, which is the standard clause. Practicality is key to my practice. In my 25 years of law practice on behalf executives worldwide, I’ve found the standard successors-and-assigns clause, coupled with a cautionary reminder to general counsel of the employer that he/she should advise successors/assigns of this important obligation, or be potentially considered to have withheld material information, has gotten my clients where they want to go. In court, too, I’ve enforced the standard clause upon acquiring entities on a “knew or should have known with reasonable due diligence” argument. Though potentially rife with risks and imperfections, the standard clause invites universal acceptance, and generally works.

Al Sklover, SkloverWorkingWisdom.com

Al: When you look at change from the perspective of the needs of any given lawyer, change can seem counterproductive, even downright scary: expedience is the order of the day. But I have the luxury of looking at change from a broader perspective, and in that context, all that matters is your suggestion that my points are conceptually hard to argue with. If we fix the language of business contracts, life will be much simpler for the next generation of lawyers. Ken

I’ve given careful consideration to your thoughts. Are we to accept that the highest purpose is simplicity for lawyers (our generation or the next)? Although it has been said that “simplicity is the ultimate sophistication,” it is not, to my mind, the ultimate purpose. I don’t think I find change to be either counterproductive or scary; rather, I do seek every possible advantage for my clients, actual or perceived, for they are often the same. I think the highest purpose of the law is the welfare of humankind, however messy, disorderly or complicated that may be. Al Sklover

Al: Making order out of chaos is certainly a noble endeavour, but not if the lawyer is the one making the mess. I see plenty of advantages, and no disadvantages, to eliminating a profoundly confused provision and accomplishing the client’s goals more directly. Ken

Ken –

Could not another purpose of the clause be to prevent the non-assigning party from arguing it has no contractual privity with a successor or assignee in an action by the assignee to enforce the contract? Especially where another boilerplate provision typically provides that there are no third party beneficiaries to the contract, it would seem the “inure to the benefit of” clause still has value here.

Jim: I believe that you’re referring to reason number 2 above. Ken

  • Pingback: AdamsDrafting » Blog Archive » Excluding Consequential Damages Is a Bad Idea

What about the case where one or more of the parties to the agreement are individuals, one of the parties dies, the agreement does not contain the successors and assigns provision (is completely silent on this issue), and the agreement does contain a restrictive covenant (non-compete/non-solicit/non-disparagement) provision. Would the restrictive covenant be enforceable against the estate of the deceased party—even if the agreement otherwise terminates on the death of a party?

And how does your suggestion gel with the recent decision of the Supreme Court of Ohio: Acordia of Ohio, L.L.C. v. Fishel, Slip Opinion No. 2012-Ohio-2297?

I completely agree 100% with your posts and comments. I am a transactional attorney for a large bank (Big Bank) that recently acquired a smaller bank (Small Bank). Small Bank has a lot of master agreements with customers, and my documentation clients always ask me if it is ok to execute new schedules under Small Bank's master agreements. I always tell them yes, that we are now the party to that contract as successor to Small Bank. Imagine my surprise when I came across this article. I think this is just bad court decision, but don't you find it concerning? Would love to hear your thoughts. http://skloverworkingwisdom.com/blog/index.php/th …

If this provision is included in a rental agreement, and one day some lawyer emails me saying they’re representing the landlord, is that enough. Shouldn’t the landlord hv to tell me first. How do I know they’re really representing the landlord, if I wasn’t told by them. Also, my lease has a non- reliance clause stating- Both Tenant & Landlord acknowledge that they have not received or relied upon any statements or representation or promises or agreements or inducements by either Broker or their agents which are not expressly stipulated herein. If not contained herein, such statements, representations, promises, or agreements shall be of no force or effect.This non-reliance clause shall not prevent recovery in tort for fraud or negligent misrepresentation or intentional misrepresentation. Blah blah blah. There’s more, but I’m not sure its relevant. . What happend to me is a complete retaliation. Besides my landlord breaching a few sections of our lease & a cpl laws. He has 1 of the best lawyers. They just pretty much almost & might be able to evict me. Though my 1 year lease was up July 31, my lease says it will continue month to month. The owners of my condo also emailed me that. But, I had a huge problem being exposed to mold. I was deathly ill for 6 + months. I hv a compromised immune system & am on disability. I was fighting with them for a cpl months to properly remove the effects areas. Finally, I gave them a certified letter giving them th 14 day remediation time. Thats when this lawyer- no it was the lawyers secretary- sent me, just an email, stating several outright lies, that I hv proof of, horrible insinuations, & then told me my lease will not continue to go month to month– OBVIOUS RETALIATION. I paid for Aug, through certified mail. They sent the check back with a letter stating I need to leave. Then they were evicting me for non payment. The judge wldnt even look at any of my proof. I’m disables, my son( lives in Pa) just lost his baby( I had to go back), my rib went out of place twice- this all in July. I’m in myrtle beach, by myself. He still only gave me only 3 days to get out. I cldnt believe it. Disabled & nowhere to go. They were delaying me in finding a place by doing this & something else in April. Anyway, with very bad advice from the S.C.L.S( they cldnt even get who was the plaintif & who was the defendant right), I was like a half hour from getting the appeal filed in time. The Sherriff said, too bad, I had to get out. Well, after an hour of crying, nowhere to go & nowhere to put my things, they finally let me file the appeal. Not sure its going to work though…… ….. Sorry, for the book, just to ask one question. Any help wld be very much appreciated.

I think it is pretty much same as the World Bank Sanctions Procedues, which contains Successors and Assigns Clause (Section 9.04. (c)). The difference is that Parties in the latter case may appeal against the decision of the Bank to impose sanctions on certain successor or assignee.

I read a great deal of deeds and easements in the course of my work. I assumed that “successors and assigns” preserves the chain of custody of real property and the conditions of the deed unless it is changed in subsequent deeds. For example, a landowner grants an easement to Bell Telephone company in 1964, which is recorded on the deed. The property changes hands 3-4 times, but the easement still exists because the subsequent owners are successors. In addition, the “Bell” companies merge and change their name to Verizon. It’s still their easement, even if it is not re-recorded. This has been the case as far back as I have read deeds in my county (1920’s). Does this not have merit in that case, or is this different than what you are referring to? I would agree that in contracts for services (ie – construction), “successors and assigns” is fairly weaker and should not take the place of enumerating who you are trying to oblige. But when you don’t know who the parties may be, I probably wouldn’t leave out.

When considering the function that a contract provision serves, a good rule is “Assume nothing.” Beyond that, drafters have the power and the responsibility to address any issue clearly and directly. If you want to accomplish something relating to the chain of custody of real property (a subject I know nothing about), address it directly instead of by using a mystery phrase like “successors and assigns.”

sounds patriartifcal.

“But why bother restating the common law?”

Because the common law changes, and varies from country to country. If you intend for the contract to last a really, really long time (certain contracts involving land and institutions have lasted for over 500 years and survived complete changes of government and even of the underlying legal system), you really want the interpretation to be in the contract so that it will outlast changes of the common law.

Looks like caselaw in employment contracts may be against you on #1.

https://skloverworkingwisdom.com/the-successors-and-assigns-clause-without-it-all-can-be-lost/

Some better-written samples in corporate law — specifically, ones which cover transfers of “substantially all of the business or assets of” a company: https://www.lawinsider.com/clause/successor-to-company

And it appears to matter massively in the question of whether an estate is obligated to perform duties of the contractor, again a case of #1 — the executor *can* be bound by the contract:

https://www.americanbar.org/groups/real_property_trust_estate/publications/probate-property-magazine/2019/january-february/can-boilerplate-raise-contracts-the-dead-the-grave/

It seems like this really shouldn’t be boilerplate, because the courts appear to have a history of ignoring the boilerplate.

But it also seems that it’s exceptionally important to specifically say what is and isn’t binding on successors and assigns. I wouldn’t leave it out, but you need much better boilerplate than the one quoted here.

That provision is in a waiver my father is being asked to sign, indicating he will not sue the driving examiner he will be in the car with during a pandemic. He did not ask to have this test. He is being told to take the test. In this situation I assume this means they are asking him to sign away rights for his whole family? Is that legal? Thanks

Would successors and assigns phrase apply to a lessee?

Or would you need to have subsidiaries and affiliates?

Consideration clause defined.

Consideration clauses are used to define the total amount due for coverage. They are the terms and conditions that determine how payment is made in exchange for mutual consideration. Some consideration clauses include penalty clauses if one party fails to meet their requirements.

Here’s an article about consideration clauses.

Consideration Clause Explained

Consideration clauses are generally used in real estate and insurance contracts. Essentially, they set the terms around how one party pays another party for something valuable, like a house or insurance policy.

They could also be used when selling shares to a buyer under a share purchase agreement. In this case, consideration clauses prove that mutual consideration existed.

This page also discusses consideration clauses.

Purpose of Consideration Clause

The purpose of consideration clauses is to mitigate the potential for a dispute regarding:

  • Payment amount
  • Payment due dates
  • Consideration exchanged
  • Limitations
  • Penalty amounts

You should make your consideration clauses as specific as possible to reduce the chance for potential conflict in the future.

Consideration Clause Examples

Examples of consideration clauses include:

  • Example 1. Receiving real estate property in exchange for payments
  • Example 2. Paying an insurance premium for benefits
  • Example 3. Working as an employee for a salary
  • Example 4. Renting construction equipment for a weekly fee
  • Example 5. Purchasing IT services on an annual contract

Consideration clauses are perfect for contracts dealing with more significant transactions above $500. They can help you protect your rights and set the tone for the relationship from the outset.

Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.

Contracts Counsel was incredibly helpful and easy to use. I submitted a project for a lawyer's help within a day I had received over 6 proposals from qualified lawyers. I submitted a bid that works best for my business and we went forward with the project.

I never knew how difficult it was to obtain representation or a lawyer, and ContractsCounsel was EXACTLY the type of service I was hoping for when I was in a pinch. Working with their service was efficient, effective and made me feel in control. Thank you so much and should I ever need attorney services down the road, I'll certainly be a repeat customer.

I got 5 bids within 24h of posting my project. I choose the person who provided the most detailed and relevant intro letter, highlighting their experience relevant to my project. I am very satisfied with the outcome and quality of the two agreements that were produced, they actually far exceed my expectations.
