Can an agency transfer my contract to another company?

Agency can assign your contract to anyone but you cannot? Ask for mutual consent and a right to terminate if control changes. Sample clause.

The risky clause

Agency may assign this agreement to any third party without notice. Subcontractor may not assign or delegate any rights.

Why it is dangerous

If the agency is acquired, your contract may move to a company you did not choose. Ask for notice, mutual consent for assignment and a right to terminate and be paid if control changes. This is general information, not legal advice.

Safer clause to propose

Neither party may assign this agreement without the other's consent, not to be unreasonably withheld. On a change of control of Agency, Subcontractor may terminate on 30 days notice and receive payment for work done.
