Document background
The Collaboration Agreement Between Two Companies is a vital legal instrument used when businesses seek to formalize their cooperative ventures under Swiss law. This document is particularly relevant in scenarios where companies wish to combine resources, expertise, or market presence while maintaining their separate legal identities. It's commonly used for joint research projects, product development, market expansion, or shared services arrangements. The agreement must comply with Swiss legal requirements, particularly the Swiss Code of Obligations, while addressing practical business needs such as resource allocation, profit sharing, and risk management. It's essential for protecting both parties' interests while providing clear guidelines for the collaborative relationship, including governance structures, dispute resolution mechanisms, and termination provisions. The document's importance has grown with increasing business partnerships and cross-industry collaborations in the Swiss and international business landscape.
