Gain a better understanding of international contracts so you can keep your money, save time and mitigate risk. When doing business with a company based in another country, it is essential to have written agreements which cover matters that are unique to international business. In this workshop, we will examine and draft wording normally included in international business contracts with a focus on distribution contracts and proforma invoices. We will discuss real situations involving international business contracts where the exporters paid hefty fines, and in some cases, were imprisoned.
