Assignment (or transfer) of contracts is a ticklish subject. You have to get it right otherwise you might encounter problems further down the track. Generally, if you only need, have or can obtain consent to transfer from some, not all, of the parties, assignment agreements are likely to be the solution. Closely related to assignment is novation.

It can be used to transfer a wide range of contracts, but is most commonly used to assign customer contracts to the buyer of a business, either where novation is impractical, or where the original contracts allow assignment. Also included with the agreement is a letter template to customers informing them of the assignment.
