Pre-Contract Agreement Drafting

Before the formal contract comes the understanding - the heads of terms, the letter of intent, the memorandum of understanding. These documents are taken less seriously than they should be. They set the commercial framework for a relationship, establish key terms that parties will be reluctant to move away from once agreed, and can in certain circumstances be legally binding in ways neither party intended.

We draft pre-contractual documents that protect your position during the negotiation phase, establish a clear record of what has been agreed in principle, and ensure that the transition into formal documentation is controlled rather than chaotic. This stage of a deal is often where the most important commercial decisions are made - make sure yours are properly captured.
