Tripartite Agreement: Definition & Sample

Trustpilot

A tripartite agreement, also called a tri-party agreement, is a legal contract that three different parties enter. Tripartite agreements can be found in all industries but are most common in the mortgage industry, mainly when new construction occurs. These agreements will usually involve a buyer, lender, and builder. Their purpose is to secure loans for the actual construction of a property. A tripartite agreement in the mortgage industry will include securities and contingencies between all three parties involved in the loan and details what will happen if there is a default.

Another example of a tripartite agreement is a novation. In a novation, a new third party takes over part of a contract for an original party to the contract. The new third party will be responsible for all rights and obligations under the original agreement. All parties involved in the contract must agree to a novation.

Hi, I'm Sarina. Thank you for taking the time to read my bio! In 2019, I graduated summa cum laude from Capital University Law School. While in law school, I was a staff member and editor on the Capital University Law Review. I was also involved in the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance Program and Operation Legal Help Ohio, a program which provides legal assistance to veterans. One of the highlights of my law school experience was my externship with Judge Jeffrey Sutton in the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit. After law school and passing the Ohio bar exam, I worked for two years as an associate at an AmLaw 100 law firm, where my practice focused on corporate, healthcare, and regulatory law. I then took an in-house position at one of the largest insurance brokerage firms in the USA, where I oversaw corporate governance, mergers and acquisitions, contracts negotiations, intellectual property, and other general corporate matters. Specifically, I am proficient in business law, navigating due diligence during acquisitions, contract drafting and review, and providing effective advice in the nuanced field of regulatory law. I prioritize responsiveness and thoroughness. Please do not hesitate to reach out to me with any questions!
