INTERNATIONAL SALE CONTRACTS (CISG)

In the realm of commercial transaction, certain parties may engage in business dealings without formal written contracts, often due to the absence of legal support or cultural business practices. In such instances, it becomes pertinent to consider the applicability of  the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) to the transactions and any resulting disputes, contingent upon the nationality of parties involved. Notably, the CISG  governs the transactions of various countries including Germany, the Czech Republic, Italy, France, Turkey, Netherlands, and Denmark, who are signatories to the Convention.

In cases where written agreements do not exist for international sale of goods between parties, we delicately assess the applicability of CISG terms when both parties are signatories to this Convention. 

In the international arena of business transactions, it is crucial to acknowledge that certain practices inherent to the business culture of a country might inadvertently lead to violations or non-performance within the scope of the CISG. In the light of this potential challenge, we adopt a proactive approach, offering our clients comprehensive guidance to preemptively navigate these situations and mitigate any risk of defaulting on their obligations under the CISG. Our aim is to empower our clients with the requisite knowledge and strategies to ensure utmost compliance with the Convention and uphold the integrity of their contractual commitments. Though strategic counsel and foresight, we diligently assist our clients in safeguarding their interests and maintaining the highest standards of contractual performance within the framework of the CISG.

We have significant experience in dealing with situations of non-payment by other parties and deployed avoidance, suspension, or anticipatory breach provisions under CISG.
