Change of Control; Assignment and Subcontracting Clause Samples

The 'Change of Control; Assignment and Subcontracting' clause governs what happens if one party undergoes a significant ownership change or wishes to transfer its rights or obligations under the agreement. Typically, this clause requires a party to obtain the other party’s consent before assigning the contract to another entity, subcontracting key responsibilities, or if there is a merger, acquisition, or other change in control. Its main purpose is to ensure that both parties maintain control over who they are contracting with, preventing unwanted third parties from stepping into the agreement and protecting the original parties’ interests in the event of major organizational changes.
