United-Controlled Litigation Sample Clauses
The United-Controlled Litigation clause designates one party—typically the United entity—as having the exclusive right to direct and manage any legal proceedings related to the agreement. In practice, this means United decides whether to initiate, defend, settle, or otherwise control litigation, and may also select legal counsel and determine litigation strategy. This clause ensures that litigation decisions are centralized, reducing the risk of conflicting actions by multiple parties and streamlining the legal process.
