In all contracts, the contracting party for ASU is "the Arizona Board of Regents for and on behalf of Arizona State University." The reference may include a specific department as well. For example: "The Arizona Board of Regents for and on behalf of Arizona State University and its Department of Intercollegiate Athletics." Typically, this clause would be followed by a parenthetical, short-form of the name for use in the rest of the contract, e.g., (hereinafter "ASU" or "University").
If the other party is a corporation, organization or other legal entity, be sure that the title includes the correct, full legal name and a reference to its state of incorporation and/or its principal place of business. For example: "ABC Corporation, duly incorporated under the laws of the state of Arizona." Or: "ABC, Ltd., with its principal place of business at 5140 W. Bell Rd., Phoenix, Arizona."
