REVIEWS

One of the best books of precedents in this area around and it is highly recommended.
Trading Law and Trading Law Reports - of previous edition

An ideal tool meant to help practitioners produce for their clients proper and comprehensive agreements. The book is an essential drafting manual, and at the same time is also rich with legal information and reference to statutes and cases. This book comes with an extremely useful companion CD ROM with agreement forms in Word format that are ready to be used and adapted. I can say with no hesitation that Richard Christou's book is an indispensable tool for lawyers practising in the areas of international trade law.
