Jurisdiction clause is a contractual clause that specifies the court, geographic location, or legal forum for resolving disputes related to the agreement. It determines which authority will hear disputes, ensuring clarity about the venue for legal proceedings. Unlike the Governing Law clause, which identifies applicable laws, Jurisdiction focuses on the physical forum.
Drafting Tip
Specify which courts or locations have jurisdiction over disputes. This should be consistent with the Governing Law clause.
