Assignment and Delegation of Duties Clause
(Anti-assignment) (MO)

Summary

This assignment and delegation of duties clause also known as an anti-assignment clause may be used in a commercial agreement governed by Missouri law. This clause limits the ability of a party to assign its rights or delegate its duties provided under the contract. This template includes practical guidance and drafting notes. Contract rights are generally assignable unless there is a contrary statute, agreement, or the assignment would materially increase the risk or change the duty of the obligor. To preclude an effective assignment, an anti-assignment clause must clearly state that the power to assign has been surrendered so that any attempted assignment will be null and void. For information regarding assignment and delegation in general, see Offers, Acceptance, Revocation, Assignment, and Delegation of Duties and Commercial Contract Assignment (MO).
