Contract law is the basis for the international system of globalized capitalism and trade that exists today (along with property law). Regardless of the subject matter, everything is governed by the agreement between the parties.

We have over 25 years experience in drafting, negotiating, and enforcing contracts — think offense and defense — across a wide variety of practice areas all over the world. Each country has their own legal requirements and our team of legal and business professionals are experts.

The central importance of contract law is the enforcement of promises and the enforcement of bargains, without which no business can occur. Any interruption in the agreement can cause significant damage to a business venture. We efficiently and effectively have resolved thousands of contract disputes — via arbitration, mediation, settlement conferences and trial — ranging from multi-million dollar businesses to start-up ventures and everything in between.

We handle global business, commercial, entertainment and intellectual property matters for clients in a wide variety of industries, including professional services (healthcare, sports, medical), entertainment (art, music, film, tv), fashion, consumer products (i.e., coffee, alcohol, clothing), telecommunications, digital media, and international sales and distribution.

We are specialists at identifying risks inherent in the business-business relationship and helping the client assess which party is best suited to bear that risk and the cost-benefit ratios. Some typical examples of what that might look like include:
