Document background
The Master Professional Services Agreement (MPSA) serves as a foundational document for businesses operating in Nigeria who engage in ongoing professional service relationships. This agreement type is particularly crucial in the Nigerian business environment where regulatory compliance, local content requirements, and specific legal frameworks must be carefully considered. The MPSA establishes the primary commercial and legal framework under which parties can efficiently agree to and execute multiple service engagements through Statements of Work, without needing to renegotiate basic terms for each new service. It includes provisions that address Nigerian-specific requirements such as local content laws, currency regulations, and data protection under the NDPR, while also incorporating international best practices for service delivery and risk allocation. This document type is especially relevant for both domestic and international service providers operating in Nigeria's growing service sector.
