Drafting and Negotiating Effective Letters of Intent - Webinar (Recorded)

  • Webinar

  • 65 Minutes
  • August 2024
  • Lorman Business Center, Inc.
  • ID: 5987085

Clarify the essential differences between specific legal documents and learn best practices for the use of letters of intent.

Too often, Letters of Intent are used in place of term sheets, or even contracts, because legal practitioners or, more commonly, their clients - fail to understand the essential differences between letters of intent, term sheets, and contracts. Using the right document for the right purpose, at the right time is essential to every deal. Failure to do so can lead to negative consequences, such as inadvertent disclosures of confidential information, premature contract formation, unclear contract terms, unintentional partnerships or joint ventures, or failed negotiations.
