Document background
The Tripartite Contract under Swiss law is utilized when three parties need to formalize their business relationship in a single, comprehensive agreement. This document type is particularly relevant in scenarios involving complex commercial arrangements such as project financing, construction projects, service delivery with guarantees, or financial transactions requiring third-party oversight. The contract ensures clear delineation of rights, obligations, and responsibilities among all parties while maintaining compliance with Swiss legal requirements, particularly the Swiss Code of Obligations. It includes essential provisions for risk allocation, performance requirements, payment mechanisms, and dispute resolution. The tripartite structure is especially valuable when direct bilateral contracts would be insufficient to capture the full scope of the multi-party relationship, such as in scenarios involving guarantees, oversight functions, or coordinated service delivery.
