The Legal Risk Score of a Statement of Work Template is Low

Our legal team have marked this document as low risk considering:

  • The document lacks specific details regarding the tasks and deliverables, which could lead to misunderstandings about the scope of work and expectations from both parties.
  • The pricing and payment terms are presented in a template format with placeholders, suggesting that financial details need to be carefully reviewed and finalized to prevent future disputes over payment amounts and schedules.
  • The absence of explicit acceptance criteria in the "Acceptance" section may complicate the process of confirming the completion and satisfaction of the project deliverables, potentially leading to disagreements on project completion.
