Document background
The Counter Offer Letter is a fundamental business document used when the recipient of an initial offer wishes to propose alternative terms while maintaining professional negotiations. This document type is particularly relevant in the Irish business context, where it must align with Irish contract law principles and commercial practices. A Counter Offer Letter typically includes references to the original offer, clearly stated modified terms, reasoning for the changes, and response deadlines. It's commonly used in employment negotiations, property transactions, service contracts, and procurement processes. The document effectively voids the original offer and creates a new proposal, making it crucial to draft it with precision and ensure all modified terms are clearly articulated. In Ireland, while the document doesn't always need to follow strict statutory requirements, it should maintain professional standards and clearly demonstrate the intention to create legal relations.
