Contracts form the base of practically all business enterprise, and numerous commercial litigation cases predictably come down to the rights and obligations under contracts, which often include forum requirements or alternative dispute resolution procedures.

Litigation respecting parties’ expectations, rights and obligations arising out of agreements is one of the cornerstones of commercial litigation. Contract disputes arise in an infinite number of contexts. Issues that frequently arise include international disputes regarding quality of goods ordered and timeliness of delivery, performance under license agreements, and the interpretation of agreements regarding provision of complex services.

We indoctrinate and represent clients on a wide variety of contractual issues rising from commercial transactions. We negotiate and draft commercial agreements and arrangements depending on each client’s business requests. Our emphasis is continually on needs of the client; we formulate agreements that set out clearly and explicitly the terms of the bargain agreed between parties to the contract.

We also support our clients in negotiations and represent them in formal dispute settlement proceedings rising from commercial contracts, whether the disputes result from breach of contract, a difference of interpretation of the terms of the contract or even the general operation of the contract.

  • Licensing agreements
  • Joint venture agreements
  • Shareholder and Nominee agreements
  • Asset leasing agreements
  • Agency agreements
