Cross-Border Contract Disputes
The supplier shipped late, the buyer refused the goods, the distributor stopped paying, the licensee kept selling after termination. Cross-border contract disputes are about facts first—who did what, when, and what the documents say—and about leverage second. We help you establish both before deciding how hard to push.
What we look at first
Claims and defenses
Breach, damages, excuse, notice requirements and limitation periods under the governing law—including the pre-dispute steps the contract may require before anyone can sue.
The record
Emails, chat logs, purchase orders, inspection reports, shipping documents and the amendments that were agreed informally. We assemble the timeline and tell you where it is strong and where it is not.
Leverage and resolution
Sometimes the strongest move is a precise demand letter with the evidence attached; sometimes it is withholding performance, calling a guarantee or filing for interim relief. The choice depends on the contract and the counterparty.
Proceedings when needed
Arbitration or litigation in the agreed forum, with the enforcement question answered before filing rather than after.
