Often we have found that it is good to prepare properly before the first phase of the negotiation by setting down the most important business issues and commercial terms in a simple document. Having declared the business rationale and your limits, the next phase of turning your document into a Term Sheet, dressing the commercial principles into a semi-legal agreement that can form the starting point for the negotiation.<\/p>\n

It is recommended that you present the full legal agreement for negotiation first when you are in agreement and both parties have signed the Term Sheet. A common mistake is to start with a full legal agreement when there is no common understanding of the commercial principles of the deal. Negotiating the entire agreement too early may lead the parties to become too detail-oriented in less prioritized business issues, which will often result in longer negotiation phases.<\/p>\n

Why you should use a Term Sheet the next time you negotiate:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Defining the commercial principles for your deal puts you in the lead of the negotiation\u2019s early phase<\/li>\n
  • You set the structure of the deal<\/li>\n
  • Getting the other party to commit and respond to the main commercial principles early ensures an efficient and constructive discussion \u2013 time well spent<\/li>\n
  • \u00a0Many first drafts of agreements come from templates and are not adapted for this particular deal which can lead to a lot of unnecessary work<\/li>\n
  • Having nailed the main commercial terms, you are aware of the important business risk to focus<\/li>\n
  • The negotiation will be driven from a commercial standpoint, not from a more detailed oriented legal perspective (which often can be counter-productive and costly)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n

    Price example \u2013\u00a0The process to advise and draw up the first draft of a Term Sheet for a typical SaaS vendor and its Enterprise SaaS Agreement with a startup meeting and one iteration of the draft based on the client\u2019s feedback starts at 15 kSEK (excl. of VAT). The Term Sheet first draft is a high-level summary of the main commercial principles and requires more legal support once the negotiation starts.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
