The Counter Offer Letter is a crucial business document used when the recipient of an initial offer wishes to propose alternative terms while maintaining interest in the potential agreement. It is particularly relevant in the Danish business environment, where it must comply with the Danish Contracts Act and general principles of contract law. This document type is commonly used in various scenarios including employment negotiations, commercial transactions, real estate deals, and service agreements. The Counter Offer Letter typically includes references to the original offer, clearly stated modified terms, reasoning for changes, and timeline for response. It serves as a formal step in negotiations, potentially leading to further discussion or acceptance under Danish jurisdiction.
