What is a Three Party Agreement?
A three party agreement is a binding contract between three or more parties. It specifies the terms of an agreement and each party’s obligations, responsibilities, and rights.
For example, a business owner might have one with suppliers to purchase goods from them regularly at specific prices. A distributor might have one with a retailer to sell products at retail prices. All parties sign these agreements before they can be executed. There will be no confusion about each side’s expectations when executing their agreement.

Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.
View Trustpilot ReviewContracts Counsel was incredibly helpful and easy to use. I submitted a project for a lawyer's help within a day I had received over 6 proposals from qualified lawyers. I submitted a bid that works best for my business and we went forward with the project.
View Trustpilot ReviewI never knew how difficult it was to obtain representation or a lawyer, and ContractsCounsel was EXACTLY the type of service I was hoping for when I was in a pinch. Working with their service was efficient, effective and made me feel in control. Thank you so much and should I ever need attorney services down the road, I'll certainly be a repeat customer.
View Trustpilot ReviewI got 5 bids within 24h of posting my project. I choose the person who provided the most detailed and relevant intro letter, highlighting their experience relevant to my project. I am very satisfied with the outcome and quality of the two agreements that were produced, they actually far exceed my expectations.
