What is a Cooperation Contract?

This Cooperation Contract template is designed for use under Irish law when two or more organizations wish to establish a formal collaborative relationship while maintaining their separate legal identities. It is particularly valuable for businesses seeking to combine resources, expertise, or market presence without creating a joint venture or merger. The document covers essential aspects such as scope of cooperation, resource sharing, intellectual property rights, confidentiality, and risk allocation, all aligned with Irish legal requirements and business practices. The contract type is specifically structured to comply with Irish competition law and the Companies Act 2014, while also addressing GDPR requirements when personal data processing is involved. It's commonly used for strategic partnerships, research collaborations, supply chain optimization, and other forms of business cooperation where parties need a clear legal framework for their collaborative activities.
