The Contractual Letter of Intent is a crucial preliminary document in UAE business practices, used when parties are seriously considering entering into a significant business transaction but need to formalize their intentions before proceeding with detailed negotiations and due diligence. It serves as a roadmap for future negotiations while potentially including certain binding provisions such as confidentiality, exclusivity, and governing law clauses. In the UAE context, where business relationships are built on formal documentation and clear expressions of intent, this document carries particular significance. The Letter of Intent must be drafted in compliance with UAE Civil Code requirements and often includes considerations for Sharia law principles, making it distinct from similar documents in other jurisdictions. It's commonly used in mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures, real estate transactions, and major commercial dealings, providing a structured approach to preliminary agreements while protecting both parties' interests during the negotiation phase.
