Description

As a standard tool for organizations of all sizes, an MSA helps to define an overall relationship between an organization and its vendor. An MSA helps streamline contracting when the parties anticipate a long-term relationship.

Given the expectation of a long-term relationship, an MSA requires routine review to ensure it remains compliant with current law and industry standards, as well as the evolving business environment. Counsel must review and assess changes in applicable jurisdictions' laws, particularly with respect to technology (including the increasing use of AI technology), data privacy and cybersecurity laws, as well as change in scopes of work that may require changes to the associated liability allocation.

Listen as our expert panel discusses best practices for drafting and maintaining an MSA. The panel will focus on liability allocation and exculpatory provisions and provisions most impacted by current and anticipated changes in the legal landscape.
