The International Strategic Alliance Contract is a framework for an Alliance or collaboration

agreement between two parties based in different countries, where no separate jointly owned company is created. In that case, the International Joint Venture Contract should be used.

As each Alliance is different, this contract template provides a series of alternatives depending on the purpose of the Alliance: to carry out a research project, design and manufacture new products, provide complementary services, exchange clients and commercial networks, etc.

The Contract sets out the objectives of the Alliance, creates a Management Committee to carry them out, establishes the contributions of the parties to the financing of the costs (based, preferably 50-50) and the profit sharing. It also regulates the use of Intellectual Property Rights and the exchange of confidential information between the Parties. In those elements of the Contract that are most important (Territory, Contributions of the Parties, Applicable Law and Competent Jurisdiction, etc.) several drafting alternatives are offered in order to choose the most appropriate options depending on each situation.
