Statement of Work
This Statement of Work (SOW) template is designed to be used in conjunction with an existing Professional Services Agreement (PSA). It provides a detailed framework for outlining specific project work, deliverables, timelines, and terms. The SOW ensures clarity between parties on project scope and allows for the addition or expansion of work under the overarching PSA.
Statement of Work
This Statement of Work (SOW) is designed to work with an existing Common Paper Professional Services Agreement (PSA). The Common Paper PSA in this repository includes a Statement of Work in the Cover Page.
A SOW is a detailed document that outlines the specific work, deliverables, timelines, and terms for a particular project or service under a Professional Services Agreement. The SOW ensures both parties are clear on what will be done and when.
It allows the parties to agree upon new work that is not in scope in a previous SOW, or add on to or expand existing work. In most cases, people will create a PSA and the first SOW at the same time. Once you agree to the Key Terms (i.e., the legal details in the Cover Page), you can issue additional SOWs based on those agreed terms. There is no limit to the number of SOWs that can exist under a single PSA.
The key terms of this Statement of Work (SOW) are as follows:
Statement of Work and Agreement | This SOW [no. XX] (“SOW”) incorporates the Agreement with a Key Terms Effective Date of [effective date of key terms] between [provider company name] and [customer company name].

Templates in our curated library are professionally drafted for US or UK law. The wider library comes from the GitLaw community and public sources - a solid starting point, but check any template fits your situation before you rely on it.
Mostly US and UK law. Some templates use general commercial terms that work across jurisdictions, and many note which law they're written for.
It depends on the situation. Templates work well for routine business agreements. For anything involving significant money, complex IP, employment, or areas you're unsure about, it's worth getting professional advice before you sign. GitLaw provides templates and tools, not legal advice.
Open any template in GitLaw and describe the change you want in the chat — 'make clause 4 mutual' or 'add a 30-day notice period', for example. GitLaw drafts the revised language and shows it as a suggested edit. You accept, reject, or keep editing from there.
Yes. Upload a Word, PDF, or Markdown file and GitLaw will open it in the editor. You can review, edit, or chat with GitLaw about it the same way you would with any template from the library.
