Description
With a constantly changing regulatory, economic and political environment, reliable contractual relationships between suppliers and customers in the supply chain are more important than ever. To prevent severe consequences, the parties depend on the certainty and enforceability of their contracts, or may prefer to have escape options in certain situations.
In this session, we will examine the impact this has on the drafting of several typical general clauses in international contracts.
