Our services for international commercial agreements going beyond simple negotiations and drafting.

There are multiple steps and considerations in a commercial agreement. Negotiations of an international commercial agreement should include thorough discussions and considerations for dispute resolution mechanisms, applicable laws, timelines and penalty clauses in certain cases. A proper transaction assesses the different options available to the client to protect his interests in the agreement and foresees possible litigation issues. Especially today, it is important to take into consideration every economical, legal and political element that may affect the agreement now or in the near future, so as to ensure the agreement is successful. That alone, however, remains insufficient in ensuring that the agreement will adequately protect the interest of the client.

An international agreement requires a thorough understanding of the risks involved in the performance of the contract in the relevant countries. These risks may be financial, legal or political. For example, it may be safer to have payments in cash in one country, no matter how large the transaction may be, instead of planning for payments directly through wire transfers in banks. It may also be absolutely necessary for an international agreement to consider the available treaties between the countries involved or their past and likely future relations in order to foresee a sense of security and in order to plan for possible breaches. When drafting international commercial agreements, it is crucial to consider the interests of the parties and the different options for applicable laws.

We are ready to discuss your objectives, interests in the agreement, and the options available for negotiations and in drafting the agreement so as to give you peace of mind now and in the future.
