What is a Substitution Agreement?

A substitution agreement is a contract between two parties in which one party agrees to replace the other if they are unable to complete their obligations. The terms of this agreement can cover anything from filling in for someone on an emergency basis or stepping into a temporary or permanent position.

As an example, a substitution agreement may be implemented when a boss needs an employee to work the boss’s shift because the boss has to take care of their sick child. A substitution agreement may also be used by individuals who need help running their household while they're out of town due to vacation plans or illness. This type of arrangement could involve hiring a housekeeper or babysitter and would likely include reimbursement for expenses incurred during that time period.

Contracts Counsel was incredibly helpful and easy to use. I submitted a project for a lawyer's help within a day I had received over 6 proposals from qualified lawyers. I submitted a bid that works best for my business and we went forward with the project.

I never knew how difficult it was to obtain representation or a lawyer, and ContractsCounsel was EXACTLY the type of service I was hoping for when I was in a pinch. Working with their service was efficient, effective and made me feel in control. Thank you so much and should I ever need attorney services down the road, I'll certainly be a repeat customer.
