One of our main areas of expertise is international (private) law. When entering into and drafting international agreements, rules of private international law, treaties and European regulations should always be taken into account. Which court has jurisdiction? Which law applies? When assessing contracts, this has to be taken into account also and knowledge of international law is of the utmost importance.
When you sell or buy a horse abroad, you want to avoid having to litigate abroad or for foreign law to apply to your agreement. This is possible by drafting a good purchase contract. We are happy to advise you on the matter and prepare the contract for you.
Vienna Sales Convention
When both parties are professional and nothing is put on paper, the Vienna Sales Convention may apply to the purchase. Many sales contracts exclude the effect of this treaty as a standard, but is that in your best interest? As a seller, it may be better for you if this Convention is declared applicable.
