#UIAInternationalContracts

 Hybrid Seminar presented by the UIA with the support of the Turin Bar Association (Ordine degli Avvocati di Torino)

This UIA hybrid Seminar will take place both in-person in Turin – and for the first time, with a virtual option through an online platform. Join us physically or virtually!

A growing number of companies are expanding their activity beyond the national borders and are faced with the issues regarding the negotiation and the drafting of International contracts. In fact, even within a “common” market like the European Union the laws are different from country to country and businessmen selling to other countries are forced to deal with the complex issues arising in the context of international contracts.

The COVID19 Pandemic has created new challenges for international trade. Companies have become aware of the importance of well-drafted force majeure clauses; consumers have learned to buy on the web, and this is forcing many companies to increase their presence on the internet, and to develop direct sales to consumers, which were in the past managed only by distributors and resellers.

The purpose of this seminar-workshop is to analyse the basic issues of cross-border contracts with reference to three types of contracts more commonly used by those who approach a foreign market (sales, commercial agency, distributorship), and at the same time to focus on the drafting of the clauses more commonly used.

We have selected a group of highly qualified speakers having at the same time a high-level profile and a practical experience in drafting and negotiating international contracts.

The presentations will last 20 minutes + 10 minutes for discussion with the participants. A large place is reserved for interactive, practical drafting and negotiation workshops. The participants will receive in advance the materials and the examples of clauses to be discussed during the seminar.

This UIA hybrid Seminar will take place both in-person in Turin – and for the first time, with a virtual option through an online platform. Join us physically or virtually!
