The Legal Risk Score of a Teaming Agreement Template is Low

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

  • The agreement involves sharing and potentially modifying proprietary products, which could lead to disagreements or claims regarding ownership and usage rights, especially if the collaboration does not result in a clear outcome or benefit.
  • The document outlines a cooperative framework between two parties, but without clear management roles or decision-making processes, this could lead to inefficiencies or conflicts during the project, especially under stress or tight deadlines.
  • The continuation and success of the arrangement heavily depend on the approval of a proposal by an external customer, which introduces uncertainty and risk as the efforts of both parties might not result in a secured contract.
