🙂 Good afternoon, LinkedIn community! Have you heard about gentlemen's agreements? Last day, I learned about a gentlemen's agreement, which sounded unique compared to other types of agreements I've heard about before. A term-sheet agreement is known as a gentlemen's agreement. ✅ A term sheet is a document that outlines the basic terms and conditions of a deal or agreement. ✅ It is typically used in business and real estate transactions ✅ It is intended to provide a framework for further negotiations and discussions. ✅ A term sheet is non-binding, meaning that either party can walk away from the agreement at any time until a binding contract is signed. ✅ It typically includes information on the price, payment terms, any contingencies, and any other important details that should be agreed upon before a binding contract is created ✅ A term sheet agreement is like a blueprint for a contract, outlining the main points of a deal in a simplified format. ✅ It's a preliminary document used in negotiations, summarizing key terms such as price, deadlines, conditions, dividends, etc. ✅ While not legally binding, term sheets are essential for learning contract negotiation skills and understanding deal-making fundamentals. Term sheets are essential tools for contract drafters, enabling negotiation clarity, efficiency, and risk management. Could anyone please provide the text you'd like me to rewrite, along with any additional information or points you'd like to include? #LawStudentLife #LegalLearning #ContractDrafting #NegotiationSkills #DealMaking #TermSheetTips #LegalInsights #BusinessNegotiation #PracticalLaw

Business Owners, listen up! As a Trial Attorney, I understand that business can go wrong. That's why it's crucial to lessen your liability before conflict arises. In my latest Business Owners Series, I'm discussing the importance of contracts. Business Owners hire me when conflict arises. Many times, solid contracts are not in place - whether with employees, vendors or clients. Contracts are the foundation of any business deal. Without a fair and balanced contract, you may end up in court trying to convince a judge without solid ground. Protect your interests and avoid legal headaches down the road by ensuring your contracts are clear. Remember, a solid contract can make all the difference. Don't let a lack of clarity lead to costly legal battles. #ContractLaw #BusinessTips #NewYork #Management #Employees #Vendor #Clients https://lnkd.in/edA6M64B

⚠️When negotiating a business deal, don't try to get one over on the other party. I had a case a few months back where my client was negotiating a fixed term agreement (5 years) where they would receive commission on certain transactions. It was projected to be pretty high value. They came to me with an incredibly complex formula for calculating commission and said it was very favourable to them. It was buried at the back of the agreement. They hoped the other party wouldn't figure out the impact until after they had signed. It took me 3 or 4 read throughs to get my head around it...! ℹ️It seems counter intuitive but I advised them to be upfront about the formula and stop trying to sneak it in. Why? Because I've seen this play out so many times and there could be lots of negative consequences: - The client may get a bad reputation in their industry. - Once the other party worked it out, they would feel shafted and likely do everything they could to terminate early. - The unexpected costs could drive the other party into a bad financial position/insolvency, which would have a knock on effect on the client's profitability. - The other party might become uncooperative and seek to minimise any commission-triggering events. - The parties may end up in a fight about interpreting the formula - leading to them both losing money and management time. 💡So what did we do? - Simplified the formula. - Gained more clarity using better defined terms. - Included a worked example. - Included a dispute resolution procedure. - Discussed how it would work practically with the other party. In the end, the other party (unsurprisingly) agreed the revised clause without much tinkering, and both parties entered into the agreement on a level playing field and ready to cooperate. It was a win win! If you need any help getting your commercial deal over the line, get in touch - I can help 📞 #contractdrafting #contracts #businesslawyer
