Term Sheet Drafting and Negotiation Guide

• What a term sheet does, and which terms are usually binding
• The process from first meeting to Closing, with typical durations
• Structure and jurisdiction: legal form and governing law across the UAE, Saudi Arabia and the EU
• Clause-by-clause guide showing three negotiating positions for each term
• Worked example: ExampleCo Series A, the same case loaded in the deal model and the board deck
• Negotiating priorities, red flags to raise with counsel, and a glossary

A template, not legal advice. Laws differ between the UAE (onshore, DIFC and ADGM), Saudi Arabia and the EU, so have the final documents reviewed by counsel in the governing-law jurisdiction.
