Informal Proceedings Clause Samples

The Informal Proceedings clause establishes a process for resolving disputes or disagreements between parties through informal discussions before initiating formal legal action. Typically, this clause requires the parties to communicate directly, often in writing, and attempt to negotiate a resolution within a specified timeframe. By encouraging early and open dialogue, the clause aims to resolve issues efficiently, reduce legal costs, and prevent unnecessary escalation to litigation or arbitration.
