International Contracts
GL negotiates, structures, drafts, and audits international contracts in English and provides related qualified legal support. Often non-native council will write a contract in English for reasons of economy, which at first glance might seem sensible. However, as materials drafted by non-native counsel often lead to the incurrence of more time and money than intended due to quality issues, clients often wonder why experienced counsel with native fluency in English was not engaged from the beginning.
