A Collaboration Agreement is essential when two or more parties wish to work together on a specific project or venture while maintaining their separate legal identities. This document, designed for use in New Zealand, provides a legally robust framework for managing joint initiatives, sharing resources, and protecting intellectual property. It addresses key aspects such as governance structure, financial arrangements, confidentiality, and risk allocation. The agreement complies with New Zealand legal requirements and can be customized for various sectors, from technology partnerships to research collaborations. It's particularly valuable for projects requiring significant resource sharing, joint development efforts, or long-term strategic partnerships.
