The book
is intended to serve as a general introduction to the common law approach to contracts, including its application in England and the United States jurisdictions. It also highlights some of the major areas of difference between common law and civil law contracts.
Moreover, this guide should assist in bringing your confidence and competence in Anglo-American legal language to a higher level. Issues related to contract drafting and development are often answered in practice by simply using foreign law contract templates. However, this approach can result in great confusion and unexpected pitfalls. Therefore, this book offers numerous templates and examples of terminology and thereby allows for not only an improved understanding of English language contracts but also better drafting skills in English.
