Commercial contracts for investment and business in Spain
Drafting, review and negotiation of the agreements supporting your Spanish investment and cross-border operations.
Discuss your plans
Start with the commercial relationship
Describe who the parties are, what each is expected to do and how the agreement fits into the investment. Identify any draft already received, commercial commitments or negotiation deadlines.
Make the commitments clear
Review the obligations, payment arrangements and issues that matter to the project. Bring questions about the contract’s duration, termination and dispute arrangements into the negotiation.
Consider the cross-border context
A relationship involving businesses in different countries deserves attention to the applicable legal framework. Ask the team to define the scope of the contractual review for the jurisdictions involved.
