CONTRACT DRAFTING, INTERNATIONAL CONTRACT LAW

Clients, buyers, or partners often propose signing their own draft contracts. Unfortunately, such drafts frequently contain provisions that are, frankly, unfavorable to our clients, and they often conceal hidden risks with negative consequences in the future. Therefore, we always recommend that our clients either conduct a professional contract review before signing or create their own contract that also takes their interests into account.

Our law firm is ready to assist you with all matters related to commercial law, including negotiations with buyers, partners, or clients, reviewing their drafts, and developing all contracts necessary for your activities: purchase agreements, service contracts, EPC contracts, lease, agency, and licensing agreements, etc.

All contracts are drafted according to international standards and are, if necessary, bilingual (in English, German, Italian, or Russian), taking into account the client’s interests, the requirements of German law, and the specifics of doing business in Germany. In contract drafting, we focus on the principles of transparency, balance, and rationality—thus significantly reducing the time and effort spent in negotiations with German partners.

LOCALIZATION

Production in Germany (localization) is a current and ongoing trend. Our law firm supports its clients in all phases of localization—from the ground up (acquisition of real estate, equipment, personnel, etc.) to advertising and selling products in the German market.

CERTIFICATION, REGISTRATION, AND LICENSES

The sale of certain products requires certification, some activities require a license or approval (e.g., from various regulatory or environmental control authorities), and certain types of transactions require the approval of government authorities (e.g., a competition authority). We are ready to assist you comprehensively in obtaining approvals and licenses.

GDPR – PERSONAL DATA

In the course of their business activities, many companies collect personal data from their customers (e.g., through online orders), which obliges them to comply with specific legal requirements. We advise you on the existing requirements for managing personal data and help you carry out all legally required procedures.
