🏡 Novation agreementBusiness activity
Novation of contractA novation agreement is a contract between three parties, in which one party transfers its rights and obligations under a contract to another party. The third party agrees to assume the contractual obligations of the original party. The novation agreement includes provisions for the release of the original party from its obligations under the contract, and the assumption of the new party of those obligations.
This document outlines the agreement to novate a construction contract between the original contractor (transferring party) and the solvent building company (receiving party). It predominantly addresses the legal aspects and procedures necessary for the successful transfer of all contractual rights, liabilities, and responsibilities.
The template is designed to be compliant with UK law and includes certain standard clauses required for such novation agreements. It typically covers important details, such as the identities of the involved parties, the original construction contract details, and the agreed-upon terms of the transfer. The template generally ensures that all necessary consents, notices, and approvals from relevant parties (such as the client, subcontractors, or regulatory authorities) are obtained during the novation process.
Additionally, the template may encompass the conditions for triggering the novation, requirements for the receiving party to assume all contractual obligations, and measures to protect the rights of both parties involved. It may also address any financial arrangements, payment mechanisms, and contingencies related to the novation.
Overall, the Construction Contract Novation template aims to provide a comprehensive legal framework under UK law for the successful transfer of contractual rights and obligations from the original contractor to a solvent building company, ensuring a smooth transition and uninterrupted continuation of the construction project.

Software Engineer Contract
This Software Engineer contract template is designed for a commercial software engineering organisation (or an individual software engineer) to use when contracting out their skills and services in exchange for payment. This contract sets out the type of software engineering and software-engineering-related services to be completed by the software engineer on behalf of the client, with consideration for expectations around quality and delivery timescales, as well as any mitigating circumstances. This contract allows for payment to be made by the client to the software engineering firm or individual software engineer on a weekly or monthly basis but can easily be edited to account for other payment schedules and could be altered to include bonuses conditional on performance. It can also be fully customised with the details of the two parties and the duration of the contract and can be printed, downloaded and edited freely as part of our mission to open source business legals. This is a template for contractors who fit outside of the UK's off-payroll working rules (IR35).
