The Legal Risk Score of a Letter of Intent Template is Low

Our legal team have marked this document as low risk considering:

  • The document outlines that the terms within the Letter of Intent are not intended to be legally binding except where explicitly stated, which implies there is a risk that commitments made during this stage might not be enforceable.
  • Each party bears its own costs related to the negotiation and drafting of the Proposed Agreement, regardless of whether the agreement proceeds, which could result in financial loss if the agreement does not materialize.
  • The Letter of Intent includes a clause that allows either party to terminate negotiations at any time without explanation, which introduces uncertainty and the potential for abrupt cessation of discussions without recourse.
