An Assignment Clause is a legal clause that is included in a contract that allows one party to transfer or “assign” its obligations and rights under the contract to another party. This clause is used to transfer contractual rights and obligations from one party to another without needing to enter into a new contract. Assignment of contract can be done unilaterally or bilaterally and is a common practice in commercial contracts. There are two types of Assignment Clause: 1. Unilateral Assignment Clause: This clause allows one party to assign its contractual rights and obligations to a third party without requiring the consent of the other party. 2. Bilateral Assignment Clause: This clause requires both parties to agree to the assignment before it can take effect. This clause may also specify conditions that must be met before an assignment can be made.
