Commercial Contracts in Germany

Written in English, this book provides an essential overview of core topics of German contract and commercial law. It gives not only important insights into typical issues in practice but also to the legal framework relevant to commercial law matters, such as general contract law; problems during the negotiation; conclusion, performance, and termination of contracts; practice-based tips for contract drafting; overview of key types of contracts (e.g. sales, supply, commercial agency, franchising, and transport); liability issues; dispute resolution; and cross-border contracts.
The second edition has been updated to cover significant changes that have taken place since the first edition and influence the contracting process: BREXIT; collective redress; digitalisation; legal tech; and supply chains. This book is for German attorneys advising foreign clients on issues in German commercial law, as well as for companies informing foreign investors on commercial law matters in Germany. It is also an ideal reference guide for comparative lawyers and law students seeking insights into German commercial law and terminology.
