Are you looking for an international contract lawyer in the Netherlands? Amice Advocaten has in-depth knowledge of international contract law. As a contract specialist, we can provide the services you need. A correctly drafted contract offers you security. Even if there is very little chance of a future conflict, a correct written agreement or contract will form a reliable basis for collaboration. Amice Advocaten will be happy to help you.

Do you want to draft an international contract, joint venture contract, distribution contract, tender agreement or reseller agreement, or have such a document prepared? Or have a contract reviewed? Amice Advocaten in Utrecht regularly provides advice to entrepreneurs operating at international level. In that context, we are often asked to draft and review international contracts. Correct documentation of arrangements in an agreement is essential, while international purchase and sale agreements involve additional aspects. These contracts must be legally watertight. For instance, it is important that the agreement specifies which law will apply in the event of disputes (choice of law), and which court will have jurisdiction (choice of forum), and whether treaties such as the Vienna Sales Convention apply.

International entrepreneurs would be well advised to chart their position prior to concluding an agreement, and on that occasion discuss possible advantages and disadvantages of the options mentioned above. This is because these choices are often laid down in the general terms and conditions. It is therefore important to carefully consider which terms and conditions apply to your agreement, or which terms and conditions the other party would like to apply.

We regularly advise on subjects such as:

• Review and drafting of force-majeure clauses and exoneration clauses;
• Breach of contract, default, recovery of loss, imputability;
• Letter of Intent, MOU, NDA;
• Distribution and agency agreements;
• Termination of continuing performance agreements;
• CMR cross-border transport.

International litigation

Amice Advocaten knows the ins and outs of international treaties and private international law, has extensive experience in international litigation and arbitration proceedings (for instance, before the LCIA in London) and is often involved in the drafting and conclusion of international contracts. These comprise not only purchase and sale agreements, but also distribution agreements and general terms and conditions of purchase and sale, as well as collaboration agreements for large-scale construction projects. It also happens regularly that one of our clients asks us to collect a cross-border claim from one of their debtors.

Because we have lawyers who speak Russian and Mandarin, we can draft and review contracts in Dutch/English/Russian/Mandarin.
