Contracts & Advisory
When the parties speak different languages, every language version of the contract has to say the same thing. We draft in Turkish, Persian, Amharic and English and state clearly which version prevails.

Contracts that hold in every language
A contract that reads differently in two languages invites a dispute. We draft the language versions together, align the legal terms across them and name the prevailing text.
The clauses that matter later
Governing law, dispute resolution, force majeure and hardship, guarantees and termination are where cross-border contracts are tested. We draft them for the specific route, market and counterparty.
Ongoing advice
For companies that trade regularly along the corridor, we provide continuing legal advice and support in negotiations before a contract is signed.
Example scenario
A framework agreement between a Turkish manufacturer and an Ethiopian distributor is drafted in Turkish and English. The seat and language of arbitration, and the prevailing text, are settled in the opening clauses.
