Joint Development Committee Clause Samples
The Joint Development Committee clause establishes a formal group composed of representatives from the parties involved in a joint development project. This committee is typically responsible for overseeing the progress of the project, making key decisions, resolving disputes, and coordinating activities between the parties. For example, the committee may set project milestones, approve budgets, or address technical challenges as they arise. Its core practical function is to provide a structured mechanism for collaborative decision-making and governance, ensuring that both parties have input and oversight throughout the development process.
