What are the Basics of a Master Service Agreement?

A Master Servicers Agreement (“MSA”) is contract between two parties with an ongoing project or business relationship that offers a flexible system for completing a project over time when there will be decisions to be made along the way. The purpose of an MSA is to set the bounds of the contractual relationship, establish a system for accomplishing the work that needs to be done, and to provide an efficient way to keep the work on track and resolve any disputes which may arise during the course of the project. This white paper discusses the fundamental aspects of drafting and negotiating MSAs, best practices for managers working under an MSA, and the common disputes which arise under this regime and how to effectively resolve those disputes.
