Het team Internationale Contracten ondersteunt cliënten bij het opstellen en uitonderhandelen van eenvoudige tot zeer complexe contracten in een internationale setting.

Onze klanten zijn bijvoorbeeld multinationals die uniform willen contracteren in een veelheid aan jurisdicties, alsook bedrijven die sporadisch of veelvuldig over hun landsgrenzen zakendoen. Wij adviseren en onderhandelen over complexe samenwerkingen zoals joint ventures, inkoop-, verkoop- en distributiestrategieën en bijbehorende contracten, algemene voorwaarden, incoterms, transport, warehousing en logistiek, agentuur, distributie en franchising, merk- en handelsnaamlicentiecontracten, informatietechnologie, telecommunicatie en outsourcing, consumentencontracten en klachtafhandeling, contracteren met de overheid en arbeidscontracten.

Wij adviseren ook over problemen bij de uitvoering van contracten en zoeken naar snelle en pragmatische oplossingen. Onze ruime ervaring met internationale verschillen in cultuur en rechtsstelsels maakt dat wij effectief en kostenefficiënt valkuilen en addertjes onder het gras voor u omzeilen.
