Negotiating Heads Of Terms

Negotiating Heads Of Terms

A heads of terms document is a document that summarises the key terms of a business agreement made between parties to a transaction. Additionally, heads of terms are referred to as letters of intent or memorandums of agreement.

Following initial negotiations between the parties, heads of terms are written to outline the fundamental conditions of a contract or business lease before the finer details are established.

Although heads of terms are not legally enforceable, they serve to record the future intentions of parties interested in conducting business but do not impose obligations on them.

Negotiating heads of terms on a commercial lease can not only be stressful, but highly disruptive. Whether you are an individual, entrepreneur, company or partnership, the process of negotiating heads of terms of a commercial lease can be complex and time consuming. This is why it is important you are able to speak to legal experts who can provide all the guidance you need to emerge from a negotiation with the result you are after.

The team at Blackstone is highly experienced in dealing with all forms of contract law and we always work very closely with our clients to ensure we fully understand the issues faced by them or their business. By working together, we can ensure we devise a pragmatic solution that meets your commercial objectives.
