Early-stage negotiations often move on assumptions of good faith and routine paperwork, but the choices parties make before a deal is signed – in non-disclosure agreements, letters of intent, and the negotiations themselves – can shape how deal risk turns into litigation risk later. We invite you to a webinar on litigation risk in early-stage negotiations.
This session will cover:
- Common gaps in NDA drafting that lead to disputes over confidentiality and use of information
- Whether and when a letter of intent becomes binding, and how courts have interpreted non-binding language
- Other points in the negotiation process – exclusivity provisions, term sheets, conduct during exclusivity or diligence – where exposure can arise before a definitive agreement exists
- Practical drafting and negotiation approaches to reduce litigation risk across early-stage deal documents
This program is designed for in-house counsel, litigators, corporate and transactional attorneys, compliance professionals, and business leaders involved in structuring, negotiating, overseeing, or litigating commercial transactions.
The content of this article is intended to provide a general guide to the subject matter. Specialist advice should be sought about your specific circumstances.
