Assignability refers to the ability to transfer rights, benefits, or obligations from one party to another under a contract.

The clause detailing assignability is commonly known as the “Assignment Clause.”
When should I use Assignability?
Assignability should be considered when:
Managing Changing Business Relationships: If you anticipate that the initial contracting party might change (e.g., due to merger or acquisition), an assignability clause allows for seamless rights transfer.
Outsourcing or Subcontracting: When a party wants to delegate or transfer part or all of its contractual duties to another entity.
Financing Arrangements: In circumstances where assigning rights can serve as collateral or assurance to financial institutions.
Real Estate or Lease Agreements: Frequently used in leases where the tenant wants to transfer their interest in the lease to another party.
How do I write an Assignability clause?
When drafting an Assignability clause, be clear and precise about the following:
Parties Permitted to Assign: Specify which parties are allowed to assign their rights and if prior consent is needed.
Scope of Transferable Rights: Clearly outline which rights and obligations can be assigned.
Conditions for Assignment: Include any necessary conditions or restrictions that must be met for assignability (such as requiring written consent).
Impact of Assignment on Obligations: State whether the original party remains liable after the assignment.
Example:
“Neither party may assign its rights or delegate its duties under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Any attempted assignment without such consent shall be void. However, either party may assign without consent to any affiliate or in connection with a merger or acquisition.”
Which contracts typically contain Assignability clauses?
Assignability clauses are commonly found in:
Commercial Contracts: Including sales agreements, service agreements, and partnership agreements.
Lease Agreements: Particularly in commercial real estate and long-term rental contracts.
Employment Contracts: Where benefits or duties might need to be transferred within corporate entities.
Franchise Agreements: Allowing the franchisor or franchisee to assign rights under certain conditions.
Loan Agreements: To permit the lender to assign their rights to another financial institution.
Understanding when and how to use assignability can significantly impact contract effectiveness and business strategy, providing the necessary legal framework for flexible management of contractual relationships.
