Sale and Contribution Agreement
A Sale and Contribution Agreement formalizes the transfer of assets or capital into a joint entity. This playbook analyzes valuation methods, assumption of liabilities, and closing deliverables.
Dispute Resolution Mechanism
Negotiation strategy
Ensure the dispute resolution clause includes a tiered approach with negotiation, mediation, and arbitration. Favor jurisdictions like New York for their business-friendly legal environments.
Negotiate for a neutral jurisdiction that is convenient and cost-effective. Ensure the process is clear and does not overly favor the other party.
Essential elements
1
Negotiation Stage
Initial attempt to resolve disputes.
2
Mediation Stage
Facilitated negotiation by a neutral party.
3
Arbitration Stage
Binding resolution by an arbitrator.
Action framework
ACCEPT
Propose edits if the jurisdiction is unfavorable or the process lacks clarity.
EDIT
Reject if the clause omits key stages or imposes unfair jurisdiction.
ADD
Add language specifying a preferred jurisdiction and clear stages.
PRO TIP
Always specify a jurisdiction known for efficient dispute resolution to minimize costs.
Real-world examples
FAVORABLE
Preferred New York Governing Law
"In the event of a dispute, the parties agree to first attempt resolution through negotiation. If unresolved, mediation will be pursued, followed by binding arbitration under the rules of [specified arbitration body] in New York."
NEUTRAL
Texas Jurisdiction Consideration
"Arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the laws of Texas, ensuring compliance with local legal standards."
UNFAVORABLE
Unclear Resolution Process
"Disputes will be resolved as deemed appropriate by the parties without a specified process."
Alternative scenarios & positions
High-Risk Projects
For high-risk projects, ensure the dispute resolution process is expedited and includes emergency arbitration provisions.
International Contracts
In international contracts, consider arbitration bodies like the ICC and specify a neutral jurisdiction.
Small-Scale Agreements
For small-scale agreements, a simplified dispute resolution process may be more appropriate to reduce costs.
