International commercial contracts and contract law in the UAE
Legal support for the preparation, coordination and support of commercial contracts for international business in the United Arab Emirates
— About practice
A commercial agreement should protect the business, and not just record agreements
For an international company, a contract is a tool for managing commercial, corporate and legal risks. A well-prepared agreement determines the procedure for fulfilling obligations, distribution of responsibilities, a mechanism for resolving disputes, protection of intellectual property, payment procedures and conditions for termination of cooperation.
Erich Rath assists international companies in preparing and negotiating commercial contracts, providing legal protection for businesses when operating in the UAE and implementing cross-border projects.
