Drafting and Reviewing an English Supply Agreement for an Overseas Corporation

English Supply Agreement Drafted and Reviewed

사건 개요

Client Information: Corporate / Contracting Party

Case Details: A domestic supplier engaged Decent Law Firm to draft and review an English-language supply agreement with a Swiss corporation.

The client requested a thorough review of the agreement's terms and an English-formatted draft tailored to the parties' legal and commercial requirements.

디센트 전략

In international contracts, understanding and addressing differences in legal systems and business practices between countries is critical. Decent Law Firm identified a potentially ambiguous clause in the agreement, which stated: “The supplier shall comply with updates from time to time.”

To mitigate risks for the supplier, the clause was revised to: “The supplier shall comply with updates. Any updates will be promptly communicated to the supplier by the Swiss corporation.” This modification ensures clear communication obligations and avoids unilateral disadvantages.
