Collaboration agreements

Clear agreements form the basis of successful collaboration

When two or more parties join forces to jointly execute a project or achieve a goal, a collaboration agreement is essential. This agreement lays down the mutual agreements, prevents misunderstandings, and provides guidance in case of any disputes.

Collaborations come in various forms: between companies, among shareholders or partners, or with external partners such as suppliers, developers, or investors. A clear and legally watertight collaboration agreement is indispensable.

What does a collaboration agreement regulate?

A collaboration agreement contains tailored provisions, adapted to the nature of the collaboration and the parties involved. Consider:

• Distribution of responsibilities and authorities
• Financial agreements, such as investment, cost sharing, and profit sharing
• Contribution of knowledge, resources, or labor
• Decision-making and voting ratios
• Duration and termination of the collaboration
• Intellectual property and confidentiality
• Liability and indemnification
• Dispute resolution in case of disagreements

For entrepreneurs, it is crucial to determine in advance how risks are distributed, what happens when a party exits, and how future developments are managed. Without clear agreements, you risk prolonged and costly conflicts.
