Commercial Contract Risk In 2017

Coming off a record year in car sales, it's expected that warranty and recall costs will continue to be on the rise. With that in mind, it's vital that OEMs and suppliers have both their foreign and domestic contracts in line.

Avoiding Common Commercial Contracting Mistakes

With international and domestic supply chain contracts, there is little or no room for error. While some supply chain contracts incorporate negotiated provisions in the form of a letter agreement or long-term agreement, many supply chain contracts rely on standard purchase order terms and conditions. This can result in contracts of considerable value and corresponding high risk receiving  little attention from in-house or outside counsel.
