Write or review a Letter of Intent
Need a lawyer to secure the terms of your pre-contractual offer or commitment before the conclusion of a commercial lease, or an act of acquisition relating to a leasehold right, a business or the securities of a company?As part of the drafting of your offer of interest (L.O.I), or the revision of the draft offer drafted by the other party (the lessor, his agent or the seller), we help you to:
- Express your offer by securing it,
- Block the case by making it conditional on financial and/or technical aspects,
- Framing the scope and timeframe of your commitment.
Writing or revising your letter of intent: what methodology?
We take the time to listen to you to take into account your project, its context and the needs that drive you.
We draft a first draft or revise the draft submitted by the other party by comments on the sidelines of the document:
- Suggesting clauses favourable to your interests (by the mark up system)
- Drawing your attention to possible legal or financial risks: meeting at the firm or in Visio to discuss the key points commented on with you and answer your questions.
Drafting or revising your letter of intent: our commitment to the deliverable
- You will have a document (the letter of intent) allowing you to continue the realization of your project by auditing the financial, accounting, legal and technical elements whose communication you have requested,
- Thanks to the editorial precautions taken in the letter of intent, and at the end of the audit period of the aforementioned elements, you will have the option either to conclude the contract announced in the letter of intent or to regain your freedom.
The letter of intent (or Letter Of Intent /L.O.I) constitutes an act of commerce within the meaning of Article L 110-1 of the Commercial Code.
In the chain of deeds, it is the first commitment of policyholders, network leaders or independent traders, to reserve a location, develop or manage a building stock.
It allows the operator to justify commitments made in the context of its activity.
It determines the main lines of the commercial lease or the deed of acquisition (whether it relates to a leasehold right, a business or the shares of a company owning a commercial site).
It prevents misunderstandings and therefore disputes over the content of the commercial lease or the deed of acquisition.
