Frequently Asked Questions About Letters of Intent

Is a letter of intent legally binding in Colorado?

The legal enforceability hinges on the language used. Typically, clauses covering confidentiality and exclusivity are binding, while the core transaction details (like price) are non-binding. We focus on clear drafting to ensure explicit delineation of binding and non-binding terms.

What's the difference between a letter of intent and a term sheet?

Both are preliminary frameworks; a term sheet is often used in investment deals focusing on equity and financial structure, whereas an LOI is common in acquisitions and commercial transactions. Functionally, they both serve to outline mutual intent before a final agreement.

How long should the exclusivity period be in a letter of intent?

Exclusivity usually lasts from 30 to 90 days, determined by the complexity of the deal and the time needed for due diligence. We help you set a timeframe that is long enough for your review but short enough to keep the seller motivated.

What happens if the deal falls apart after signing a letter of intent?

If the key commercial terms are non-binding, parties can generally terminate discussions without liability, though the confidentiality obligations remain in force. Legal recourse is typically limited to breaches of the binding provisions, such as the exclusivity clause.

Should I hire an attorney before or after I receive a letter of intent?

You should hire an attorney before the LOI is signed or submitted. Early legal involvement matters: drafting the initial LOI provides a strategic advantage, and reviewing an incoming one immediately prevents you from inadvertently anchoring negotiations to unfavorable terms.
