International Contract Law

Contract law nowadays is a very complex and intricate component of our business system. Although many types of contracts can be handled in the routine course of business, major business transactions require competent legal advice due to increase of size, scope and importance. However, written contractual instruments that are ambiguous or poorly drafted, can create more problems than they solve. Written contracts should always be drafted in a clear, concise and understandable fashion.

Another issue is the fact that agreements in Germany and continental Europe are different from anglo-saxon practice due to their variant legal tradition. Continental contracts are more abstract whereas english or american agreements are much more comprehensive. However, the rights, duties, responsibilities and obligations of the parties to a contract must be clearly defined so that a reasonably intelligent and objective person should be able to review a contract and generally comprehend its terms, conditions, and provisions.
