GLS Checklist: Memorandum of Understanding

US$99

The Problem: You need to review/prepare a Memorandum of Understanding.

You need to know what to look for when dealing with a Memorandum of Understanding.

Related challenges include: 

  • the MOU may create binding obligations even where the parties intended non-binding discussions
  • you may not realise key commercial terms are unclear, incomplete or poorly documented
  • you may miss provisions creating exclusivity, confidentiality or cost exposure obligations
  • you may not know whether the MOU properly reflects the intended commercial framework
  • you may overlook wording that creates unintended legal or operational commitments
  • you may not identify gaps around timelines, responsibilities or next stage deliverables
  • you may fail to spot inconsistencies between the MOU and later transaction documents
  • you may assume MOUs are informal documents when they often create significant legal risk
  • you may not know what MOU positions are reasonable versus commercially aggressive
  • the problem becomes worse when dealing with investor, strategic partnership or procurement paper

The web has lots of checklists – but are they any good?

The GLS Solution: An intuitive checklist to guide you through the key issues in a Memorandum of Understanding.

GLS Checklists™ flag the key issues you need to be aware of in a wide range of commercial agreements so you can be confident in the agreement that you are reviewing/signing.  

This checklist is for a Memorandum of Understanding.

Useful to both legal teams and lay-persons, this GLS Checklist™ flags what is important and/or unique in this agreement type, and includes a brief explanation as to why.

GLS Checklists™ flag what is a truly “material” risk area and what is not – allowing you to conduct an efficient and proportionate review.

GLS Checklists™ distill years of professional legal experience into a simple and easy to follow checklist that helps you step through the issues.

Remember, its not what you know that is usually the problem - its what you dont know. So let this checklist help you conduct your review.

There are plenty of checklists found on the Web but few are regularly maintained by a legal services group dedicated to empowering you to achieve more yourself.

Problem solved.
