Global Webinar on “Managing Risk in the International Sale of Goods”

In a global marketplace, where products travel thousands of kilometers between buyers and sellers, business leaders need to understand where and how they accept the risk of loss and damage to the products they are purchasing. In this presentation, we will explore international conventions in sale of goods law, including terms of payment and shipment of goods, as well as how payment is facilitated.

We will get deep into the intricacies of contracts for the international sale of goods, focusing on key aspects such as risk allocation, insurance requirements, and the implications of different trade terms like FOB (Free On Board) and CIF (Cost, Insurance, and Freight). Understanding these terms can significantly mitigate the risks involved in international transactions by clearly defining buyers and sellers’ responsibilities.

Furthermore, the webinar will cover the role of international regulatory frameworks, such as the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG), and how these laws affect your business operations. We will discuss how to effectively follow these regulations to ensure compliance and minimize legal disputes.

In addition to legal considerations, practical strategies for managing risk will also be highlighted. This includes best practices for conducting due diligence on potential international partners and the use of advanced technologies such as blockchain to track and secure shipments and payments.

The session aims to equip business leaders with the necessary tools and knowledge to confidently engage in the international sale of goods without incurring unnecessary risks. Whether you are a newbie to international trade or looking to refine your current practices, this webinar will provide valuable insights that can protect your company’s interests and enhance your global trade capabilities.

We are pleased to announce that John O’Fee, Faculty Member, Thompson Rivers University, Canada, will be our special guest for this session. His extensive experience and insight will undoubtedly enrich the discussion.
