Abstract:

Crossing national borders necessitates considerations which do not usually characterize domestic
decision-making. As pitfalls are inevitable, fundamental knowledge of terms constituting the international
agreement may serve to prevent or mitigate loss of trust, compromised business relationships, and
adverse financial investment. Due to inherent challenges posed by entering unchartered territories with
new business initiatives, all parties negotiating trade agreements must be cognizant of the risks involved.
This article provides insight into key provisions, terms, and considerations of which entities entering into
an international agreement should be aware.
