Common Questions

It depends on the drafting. An MOU can be entirely non-binding, partially binding, or fully binding. We typically draft MOUs with non-binding commercial terms but binding provisions for confidentiality, exclusivity, and governing law to protect your interests during negotiations.
Functionally similar, but MOUs tend to be more detailed and used for ongoing partnerships, while Letters of Intent are typically shorter and used for specific transactions like M&A deals. Both can be binding or non-binding depending on their terms.
MOUs are ideal when parties want to formalize intent and key terms before investing in full contract negotiations, when dealing with government entities that require MOUs as procedural steps, or when exploring partnerships where the final scope is still evolving.
