: AdamsDraftingEnglish as the Lingua Franca of Contracts
By Ken Adams
I’m working on the introduction to MSCD2, and five minutes ago I wrote this:
English is used in contracts around the world, and not only in contracts between companies from English-speaking countries. English has become the lingua franca of international business, so a contract between, say, a French company and a Brazilian company is more likely to be in English than in French or Portuguese.
I’d be interested to hear your thoughts on use of English in international contracts.
