Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)
An MOU establishes the foundational understanding between parties prior to definitive agreements. This playbook reviews negotiation of commitments, timelines, and governance structures.
Governing Law & Disputes
Negotiation strategy
Ensure the governing law is favorable to your business operations and legal strategy. Opt for arbitration to maintain confidentiality and control over the dispute resolution process.
Negotiate for a neutral jurisdiction that does not disadvantage your position. Consider mediation as a first step to resolve disputes amicably and cost-effectively.
Essential elements
1
Governing Law
Jurisdiction governing the contract.
2
Dispute Resolution
Mechanism for resolving disputes.
3
Timelines for Resolution
Time limits for dispute processes.
Action framework
ACCEPT
Propose edits if the jurisdiction is unfavorable or if timelines are too restrictive.
EDIT
Reject if the clause imposes excessive costs or risks.
ADD
Add language for arbitration or mediation if missing.
PRO TIP
Always specify clear timelines for dispute resolution to avoid prolonged litigation.
Real-world examples
FAVORABLE
Arbitration with Defined Timelines
"Any dispute shall be settled by arbitration in accordance with the [insert arbitration rules], initiated within 30 days of the dispute."

Alternative scenarios & positions
Cross-Border Transactions
In cross-border deals, ensure the governing law is internationally recognized and arbitration is preferred to avoid local court biases.
High-Value Contracts
For high-value contracts, include detailed arbitration procedures to protect significant investments and interests.
Long-Term Agreements
In long-term agreements, consider periodic reviews of the governing law and dispute resolution clauses to adapt to changing legal landscapes.
