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. ## Related articles [![A bound arbitral award tied with a navy ribbon and gold seal, beside a globe and a fountain pen](https://acalegalpartnership.com/media/arbitral-award-cover-ce9bc5f78b.webp)26 October 2026Türkiye · Iran · Ethiopia
