The Legal Memorandum of Understanding is commonly used when parties wish to formalize their mutual understanding without creating fully binding contractual obligations. Under U.S. jurisdiction, this document serves as a stepping stone toward more formal agreements, capturing key points of understanding while maintaining flexibility. It typically includes purpose, scope, responsibilities, and terms of cooperation, while adhering to both federal and state-specific legal requirements. MOUs are particularly useful in complex multi-party arrangements or when parties need to establish framework principles before detailed negotiations.
