Changing the freelancer in the contract

[aaef8b8f]

Hi!

We're an agency.

We have just started a contract with a client but would like to change the freelancer that we have assigned to the task.

Is it still possible when the contract is already ongoing?

I have tried to modify it, but all I can change is the hourly rate and the to-do list. 

Thanks!

Hi Piotr,

It is not possible to switch the parties to a contract once it's started. In order for the contract to be associated with the correct freelancer, you'll need to close the existing contract and create a new one.

Thank you for your reply.

Hello! I have the same situation where I am wanting to be replaced by another freelancer. To make things easy for my client, I wouldn't want my client to have to go through closing our contract and making a new one. Besides, I might have a referral who I would want to replace me. Just want to know if your answer is still relevant today? Like, if that's still gonna be the case if I have the same situation?

Thank you!

Hi Katherine,

I certainly understand your concern here. What Andrea shared in her post is still relevant today; your client will need to end their current contract and start a new one with the freelancer they wish to work with.
