What we get right
An MSA is the framework every future SOW signs under — get it wrong once and every deal after inherits the mistake. Our lawyers draft the clauses that set your risk ceiling, not just the deal in front of you.
How liability caps, indemnities, and IP assignment are interpreted depends heavily on the governing law of your MSA. We draft every clause to be enforceable under your chosen governing law, whether the relationship is domestic or spans multiple jurisdictions.
Which document controls when the MSA and a Statement of Work conflict — the single most important MSA mechanic.
Liability caps, exclusion of consequential loss, and carve-outs set your maximum exposure across every SOW.
Who covers third-party claims — IP infringement, data breach, injury — and any caps or exclusions.
Ownership of deliverables, background IP, and licence-back rights across all work under the MSA.
Termination for cause or convenience, effect on active SOWs, and which obligations survive.
Payment terms, disputed invoices, expenses, and which party bears taxes and withholding.
Confidentiality plus data-processing and security terms where personal or regulated data is involved.
Performance warranties, SLAs, service credits, and disclaimers.
Governing law, dispute forum (court or arbitration), assignment, subcontracting, and change control.
Required insurance coverage and compliance with applicable laws (anti-bribery, sanctions, data).
Because an MSA governs many future statements of work, the clauses that matter most depend on the work you actually contract for. Our lawyers tailor every draft to your specific business and its governing law rather than filling in a fixed template.

What clients say
5.0★ average from 5 verified reviews“We were under pressure to sign a customer agreement with a UK client within 48 hours. ContractDesk reviewed the contract the same day, flagged a few risky clauses around liability and payment terms, and suggested practical revisions that the client accepted without much negotiation. The process was smooth and the advice was genuinely commercial, not just legal.”
“As our startup started closing enterprise customers, our contracts became far more complex. ContractDesk has become our go to legal partner for reviewing MSAs, NDAs, and SaaS agreements. Their comments are easy to understand, turnaround is consistently fast, and the quality has been excellent”
“The trademark registration process was much smoother than I expected. The team first checked whether my brand name was available, explained the risks in plain English, and handled the filing end to end. They kept me updated throughout the process and were always available to answer questions. Great experience overall.”

Frequently asked questions
A master service agreement sets the standard terms — liability, IP, confidentiality, payment — for an ongoing relationship, so individual projects can be contracted quickly through shorter Statements of Work (SOWs) that inherit the MSA’s terms. If you expect more than one engagement with the same counterparty, an MSA usually saves renegotiating every deal.
