Contract law in Germany
VON ZANTHIER & DACHOWSKI
Contract law
Contracts are the backbone of every business relationship and are crucial to the success of your company. We advise you on purchase, works, leasing, rental, tenancy or IT contracts. Our advice includes the drafting of contracts and general terms and conditions, support and representation in contract negotiations as well as the assertion of your rights arising from contract fulfilment and warranty. As we have been working in an international, in particular German-Polish environment for several years, we have gained extensive experience in handling complex legal issues and developing customised solutions for cross-border business relationships.
Who do we support?
We can help you in particular if you are dealing with the following challenges:
-
You need support in contract negotiations, especially in identifying key points and developing a negotiation strategy
-
You need help understanding the laws and coping with cultural differences with your contractual partner in Germany
-
You would like to adapt contracts or documents that were drawn up in accordance with foreign law to German law
-
You fear that you will not be able to fulfil all or part of the contract you have concluded and are looking for a strategy to minimise the negative consequences

How can we help?
We support our clients primarily in the following areas:
Creating and analysing contracts and general terms and conditions
The correct and legally compliant drafting of contracts and general terms and conditions (GTC) is essential to protect your business interests and create clear rules for your business relationships. Our law firm offers you specialised services for drafting and reviewing contracts and general terms and conditions in 3 languages (German, Polish and English) that meet the legal requirements in Germany and position you in the best possible economic position.
UN Sales Convention
The UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) is of central importance for binational sales contracts, as it is generally applied instead of national sales law. We offer you comprehensive advice on cross-border sales of goods, taking into account the specific requirements of the CISG. In addition to enforcing your rights, we also support you in settlement negotiations, mediation and arbitration proceedings.
Contract negotiations
We support you in your negotiations and help you to negotiate favourable contract terms. We draw up and review draft contracts, advise you on legal issues and actively participate in negotiations with your business partners in order to achieve the optimum long-term result for you.
