How to sign a contract with an EU client?

🇪🇺 A contract with an EU partner is more than just a signature. It is a tool for managing business risks.
For a Ukrainian IT company, entering the European market does not end when a client says “yes.” The next step is the contract — and a single overlooked clause can affect payments, ownership of your product, your company’s liability, or your ability to protect your interests in the event of a dispute.
Who owns the IP? What happens if the client delays payment? Where will disputes be resolved? What liabilities are you taking on? What data protection requirements should you consider?
At the 7th Go-To-Market Bootcamp session, we will explore B2B contracts with European partners through a practical case study.
📅 September 30 | 11:00–12:30

🎤 Speakers:
👤 Dr. Miquel Mirambell Fargas — Legal Counsel and Associate Professor of Commercial Law at ESADE Business and Law School.

The session draws on three years of practical experience advising on B2B agreements between the Spanish subsidiary of a leading German retailer and its suppliers.
If you are a Ukrainian company already working with EU clients or planning to enter the EU market, this session will help you better understand what to review, negotiate, and clarify before signing a contract.
