Global Learning for Operational Leaders
Introduction
Course overview
When parties from different countries contract with each other, questions arise that do not exist in domestic deals. Which country's law governs the contract? Where will disputes be heard? Will a judgment or award be enforceable where the other party's assets are? How do currency, tax, sanctions, import rules and cultural differences affect performance?
This Cross-Border Contracts training course explains the key legal and practical issues in international commercial contracts. Participants learn how to choose governing law, compare litigation and arbitration, draft dispute resolution and jurisdiction clauses, consider enforcement, use international conventions and trade terms, and manage currency, tax, regulatory and cultural risks.
The course is designed for professionals who negotiate or manage contracts with foreign counterparties and need to understand when and how to involve specialist advisers.
