Contract Validity Factors
Summary
Contracts can be invalid due to lack of capacity, duress, misrepresentation, or illegality. For international contracts, jurisdiction and governing law are crucial. If a contract lacks a specified governing law, it complicates dispute resolution. In cases of breach, review the contract for dispute resolution clauses and consult a lawyer specializing in international business. For partnerships, profits and losses can be distributed based on capital contribution percentages. Always consult a lawyer for tailored advice.Full Conversation
