International Commercial Contracts

Contracts are central to corporate and business transactions in the global arena. We have a wealth of experience in drafting, reviewing, negotiating on and advising on various international contracts including distributorship agreements, license agreements, franchise agreements, manufacture and supply agreements, service agreements, sale and purchase agreements, equipment lease agreements, loan agreements, confidentiality agreements, fund agreements, joint venture agreements, shareholders' agreements and capital subscription agreements.

Advising on contracts require not only a careful review of the language of the contract but also the giving of practical and efficient advice concerning the project or transaction underlying such contract from the early stages thereof, including the planning and negotiations therefor, throughout the project or the transaction.

In addition to local contracts, we can prepare, review and advise on contracts in Chinese and English.
