A Legal Memorandum of Understanding is commonly used when parties wish to formalize their preliminary intentions before entering into a binding contract. It serves as a roadmap for future negotiations while maintaining flexibility. Under English and Welsh law, MOUs typically include details about the parties involved, their objectives, proposed terms of cooperation, and any specific arrangements regarding confidentiality or intellectual property. While generally non-binding, careful drafting is essential to avoid creating unintended legal obligations.
