The Business LOI is a crucial preliminary document used in German business transactions to establish the framework for negotiations and future agreements. It is particularly relevant in mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures, strategic partnerships, and other significant business arrangements. The document typically combines non-binding commercial terms with binding provisions on confidentiality, exclusivity, and costs. Under German law, special attention must be paid to pre-contractual obligations and the principle of good faith in negotiations (Treu und Glauben). The Business LOI serves as a stepping stone to definitive agreements while providing clarity on the parties' intentions and protecting their interests during negotiations. It must be drafted in compliance with German civil and commercial law requirements, particularly regarding formation of pre-contractual obligations and potential liability.
