Understanding Contractual Counterparts
Summary
In Pennsylvania, each counterpart of an agreement is considered an original document, and no new signatures are typically required unless specified. For ongoing work, check the Statement of Work (SOW) for specific end dates or terms for continuous work. Mutual approval for changes should be documented, often through written communication or a signed amendment. The agreement remains effective until terminated with a 30-day written notice.Full Conversation
Would each new counterpart require a new signature?
In Pennsylvania, as in most jurisdictions, each counterpart of an agreement is considered an original document. Therefore, if the agreement states that counterparts are valid, each signed copy is treated as part of the same agreement. No new signatures are typically required for each counterpart unless specified otherwise in the agreement.

The last Statement of Work I signed was in *. I'm wondering if the continued work since that last document then would not fall under this agreement.
For your situation, it is essential to check the terms of your Statement of Work (SOW) and the Master Service Agreement (MSA) it falls under. Generally:
- If the SOW includes a duration or end date, any work beyond that may not be covered.
- If the SOW specifies ongoing or continuous work, then it might still apply.
Could you provide more details on the terms of your SOW?
- If the SOW includes a duration or end date, any work beyond that may not be covered.

Could you provide more details on the terms of your SOW?
"This Statement of Work is made as of the date of the signatures below, pursuant to the
terms below and the terms of that certain Services Agreement by and between [me], and [company], having a place of business at [address]
(the “Company”) (the “Services Agreement”). Capitalized terms not defined below will be
governed by the definitions in the Services Agreement."

To better understand your situation, could you provide more details on whether your Statement of Work (SOW) includes a specific duration or end date? This will help determine if your continued work falls under the original agreement.

There are specific dates and this: "Both Company and Individual agree that any additions or modifications to the Services and
Deliverables are (i) likely to result in an extension of the current project schedule and (ii)
subject to mutual approval of Company and Individual."
Case Rating: *
Based on your description, it appears that the continuation of work could indeed fall under the original agreement if the modifications are mutually approved. However, the specific dates are crucial.
Is there a specific end date mentioned in your SOW?

What does mutual approval mean in that last part? Wouldn't I have to document that I approve a change to the schedule?
Case Rating: *
Mutual approval means that both parties must agree to any changes to the schedule or deliverables. This agreement typically needs to be documented, often through written communication or a signed amendment to the original agreement.
Do you have any additional questions about documenting these changes?

This is in the Services agreement: "Term. This Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and be effective until
terminated by either the Individual or the Company by giving thirty (*) days prior written
notice of such termination (the “Consulting Period”)."
Case Rating: *
The term clause you shared indicates the agreement remains effective until either party terminates it with 30 days' written notice.
Would you like more information about how this termination clause might apply to your specific situation?

I'm still wondering if the continued work since that last SoW I signed would not fall under this agreement.
Case Rating: *
It seems like your main concern is whether the continued work after the last Statement of Work (SOW) you signed falls under the existing agreement. To clarify, here are some points to consider:
- Check the SOW: Look for specific end dates or terms specifying ongoing work.
- Mutual Approval: If continuous or additional work was mutually approved and documented, it may still fall under the original agreement.
- Termination Clause: Remember that either party can terminate the agreement with a *-day notice.
