Scenario: You are a junior legal professional working for an oil and gas company. Your manager asks you to review a draft Joint Venture Agreement for a new drilling project. The draft includes a clause stating that all disputes will be resolved through binding arbitration. However, your company's policy is to pursue litigation in court for all major disputes.
Task: Write a memo to your manager outlining the potential issues with the existing clause and propose a revised clause that aligns with your company's policy.
**Memorandum**

This memo outlines potential issues with the existing clause in the draft Joint Venture Agreement concerning dispute resolution and proposes a revised clause that aligns with our company's policy.
The current clause requires all disputes to be resolved through binding arbitration. However, our company's policy dictates pursuing litigation in court for major disputes. This discrepancy could lead to significant legal challenges and potential conflict with our company's established practices.
**Proposed Revision:**
It is proposed to revise the clause to state that "all disputes arising under this agreement will be subject to binding arbitration, except for major disputes involving [Specify criteria for defining major disputes, e.g., exceeding a certain financial threshold, involving significant legal precedents]. Such major disputes will be resolved through litigation in a court of competent jurisdiction."
This revised clause addresses the company's preference for litigation in major disputes while preserving the potential benefits of arbitration for smaller or more routine issues. It ensures greater flexibility and alignment with our established procedures.
Further review and approval from legal counsel are recommended before finalizing the agreement.
