Risk Allocation in an Outsourcing Contract – the Game of Hockey
Risk allocation is rarely the impetus for entering into an outsourcing, but it is often a critical element in long term, complex outsourcing contracts, particularly where business transformation is involved.

You rarely, if ever, see a provision in the contract that lays out the allocation of risk between the parties.
