Review and drafting of international contracts for companies working with suppliers or clients abroad
We draft and review international contracts in English or Spanish so your company knows what it's signing, what rights it has, and how to file a claim if the other party breaches the contract.
We advise companies that operate in several countries or work with foreign suppliers, distributors or clients. We write, we review y we negotiate international contracts To prevent legal problems, operational misunderstandings, or clauses that later prove impossible to comply with or enforce. We work in Spanish or English. We adapt to new contracts, those under negotiation, or those already signed that require urgent review. And we do so with clear criteria: legal validity, balance between parties, and real protection in the event of a conflict.
Specialization in international operations
We are not a generalist firm. We only work with companies that operate with foreign parties. We understand the real risks of signing contracts under different laws, languages, and jurisdictions.
Contracts tailored to your company's needs
We don't fill out forms. We analyze each transaction, drafting from scratch or correcting existing ones, so that the contract meets your specific needs, interests, and timeframe.
Preventing conflicts before they occur
Our approach is practical: avoiding future problems. We focus on critical areas like jurisdiction, payment methods, compliance, and penalties, so that if something goes wrong, you know what to do.

What is an international contract
An international contract is a legally binding agreement between parties from different countries, and subject to different legal systems, who voluntarily undertake to comply with an operation on a specific matter or thing for the production of a legal effect. The international contract is one of the only formulas we have to obtain legal security in our operations abroad. A long and fruitful business relationship is based on clear agreements that prevent future conflicts of interest.
What requirements must a contract meet?
For an international contract to be valid, it must meet certain elements: natural, accidental and essential. In addition, it will bring together several aspects such as: the purpose, the necessary clauses, responsibilities, terms and conditions, jurisdiction and applicable legislation. The latter being the most controversial due to the difficulty posed by the coexistence of different laws. Therefore, it is essential that it be written with in-depth knowledge of the law, your sector and the specific activity to be carried out.
