Consulting on the international law
The legal department of the Nizhny Novgorod Region CCI provides legal advice services on the international law aimed at facilitating the establishment and development of cooperation between Russian and foreign business partners.

1. Drawing up and analyzing international contracts
• Choosing the most suitable type of foreign trade agreement taking into account the requirements of the currency and custom legislation;
• Drawing up a contract using INCOTERMS 2000, rules of private international law, etc.
• Additional contract modification in accordance with the client and his contractor preferences.

Companies’ activity in all economic sectors is connected with making deals, entering into agreements with business partners and execution of contracts by the parties. Sometimes a contract for several millions is drawn up on just two or three pages and therefore does not cover all the details and controversial points that may arise during its execution. A detailed contract with clear and exact wording describing consecutive and well thought-out mechanism of its realization helps both the parties to keep order avoiding unnecessary conflicts.
This is why we offer complex legal support for foreign trade agreements taking into account all the requirements of international, tax, customs and currency law which allows the companies to minimize risks.
