Commercial Contracting

Our Commercial Contracting practice combines multi-jurisdictional legal knowledge with practical experience, project management skills and a can-do approach. We advise and litigate for both local and international clients on a large variety of commercial contracts.

Our commercial work further consists of the drafting and reviewing of contracts, settling of liability claims and drafting and reviewing of general conditions.
In addition, we help our clients to navigate through the key areas of the trade laws and regulations, including but not limited to:
- Export and import controls
- Food and product safety
