Presenting a unique conceptual framework for interpreting and improving commercial agreements, this book marries a sound theoretical foundation with practical strategies for negotiating, drafting, advising on, and litigating such agreements.
Using examples from Singapore jurisprudence to demonstrate how universal principles can be applied in diverse jurisdictional settings, the book examines the cultural and commercial contexts that underpin a multitude of business agreements – such as those relating to the supply of goods, distribution, and franchising – and illustrates how nuances of language are essential in the interpretation and translation of contracts.
Key Features:
Critiques common contractual language from both a litigation and transaction standpoint
Argues that commercial agreements are the product of ‘language-games’ played between parties
Provides practical guidance on the intricacies of drafting and interpreting commercial agreements
Outlines a comprehensive framework integrating diverse approaches which can be operationalized in the courtroom and in the boardroom
This book is an essential resource for legal professionals including commercial law advisors, in-house counsel, litigators, and transactional lawyers. The conceptual approach also makes it attractive for scholars and students in commercial law and Asian law.
