What is a memorandum of understanding?
A memorandum of understanding (MOU) records the common understanding between two or more parties before – or instead of – a detailed contract. Businesses, startups, NGOs, institutions and government bodies use MOUs to set out a collaboration, joint project or partnership.
Is an MOU binding?
It depends on how it is written. Many MOUs are mostly non-binding statements of intent, with a few binding clauses such as confidentiality, exclusivity and governing law. If the parties intend to create legal obligations, the MOU can be drafted as a binding contract. Making this clear avoids disputes later.
What an MOU usually covers
| Section | Content |
|---|---|
| Purpose and scope | What the collaboration is about |
| Roles and contributions | Who does what, and resources each party brings |
| Timelines | Milestones and duration |
| Costs and revenue | How expenses and income are shared |
| Confidentiality and IP | Protection of information and ownership of work |
| Termination | How either party can exit |

MOU Drafting – frequently asked questions
Is an MOU legally enforceable?
Only the parts intended to be binding are enforceable. We draft the MOU so that it is clear which terms bind the parties.
Does an MOU need stamp duty?
Stamp duty depends on the state and the content of the MOU. We advise on the correct amount.
What is the difference between an MOU and an agreement?
An MOU often records intent and broad terms; an agreement sets out detailed, binding obligations.
