Two member firms of Rajah & Tann Asia, Rajah & Tann Singapore and R&T Asia (Thailand), have contributed to the “Contract Laws of Asia – Model Clauses for Contracting in Asia” guide jointly published by the Asian Business Law Institute (“ABLI“) and the Singapore Academy of Law. This is the third publication under ABLI’s Contracts Project which is a series of publications that discuss various aspects of contract law under the laws of each of the jurisdictions.
This publication aims to address some of the problems in commercial contracts between parties from different jurisdictions. It provides (to the extent possible) parties entering into cross-border contracts, governed by the laws of select jurisdictions, with a framework that is neutral as to the governing law chosen as well as the subject matter of the contract. Each model clause is designed to ensure that it is enforceable irrespective of which jurisdiction is selected as the governing law and irrespective of the subject matter of the contract.
The guide covers the following jurisdictions: Australia, China, England and Wales, India, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, New York, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam.
Sim Chee Siong, Soh Lip San, Matthew Koh, Loh Chun Kiat, Goh Jun Yi and Debbie Woo from Rajah & Tann Singapore are contributors from the Singapore jurisdiction, while Ittichai Prasongprasit and Thamolwan Cheewakriengkrai from R&T Asia (Thailand) are contributors from the Thailand jurisdiction.
Rajah & Tann Asia is one of the Founding Partners of ABLI, a non-profit permanent think tank dedicated to providing practical guidance in the field of Asian legal development and promoting the convergence of Asian business laws.
