PROCEDURE FOR NEGOTIATION OF SUCCESSOR AGREEMENT Sample Clauses
The "Procedure for Negotiation of Successor Agreement" clause outlines the steps and timeline that parties must follow when negotiating a new agreement to replace an expiring one. Typically, this clause specifies when negotiations should begin, how proposals are to be exchanged, and may set deadlines for reaching a tentative agreement. For example, it might require that either party notify the other of its intent to negotiate a successor contract a certain number of days before the current agreement expires. The core function of this clause is to ensure an orderly and predictable process for contract renewal, minimizing disruptions and providing both parties with a clear framework for ongoing negotiations.
