Our Commercial Contract Lawyers have assisted on cross border projects (whether that be advising on cross-border contracts governed by English law, or arranging local counsel on contracts governed by foreign laws)– recent jurisdictions include US, Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, China, South Africa and numerous jurisdictions across Europe.
The contract will specify what law is applicable to disputes, claims or interpretation of the contract. If there is no governing law clause, then there are a number of international conventions which could determine based on the location of the parties and activities under the contract.
If you are going to sell goods or services in the UK and want to rely on terms and conditions that are applicable outside the UK, we recommend that you seek expert legal advice due to the UK’s laws around consumer protection and unfair terms in business to business contracts as your existing T&Cs may not be compliant with English law.
