Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for Business Partnerships & Collaborations
Document Mutual Intentions & Responsibilities Clearly with a Legally Drafted MoU
If you are planning a business collaboration, partnership, or joint venture, having a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) is essential to clearly define the purpose, roles, responsibilities, and key terms agreed upon by the parties. An MoU helps prevent misunderstandings and sets a strong foundation for future formal agreements.
