commercial legal skills for CROSS-JURISDICTION

Commercial disputes and transactions that cross two or more legal systems simultaneously expose counsel to a thicket of hard questions — which forum's contract law governs, which mandatory rules displace the chosen governing law, and where a judgment can actually be enforced. These tensions are at the core of the cross-jurisdiction commercial legal skills in the ThomasMore catalog, which are built for precisely that layered uncertainty: governing-law analysis under conflict-of-laws principles, cross-border sale-of-goods frameworks derived from instruments such as the CISG, and multi-jurisdictional due diligence mapping across corporate, regulatory, and competition regimes. Each skill is agent-ready and available over MCP or as a download, slotting directly into the research and drafting stages of an international transaction or dispute.

The collection covers recurring cross-border commercial tasks — choice-of-law clause drafting, international arbitration procedural checklists, foreign judgment enforceability assessments, and sanctions and export-control screening against multiple regulatory lists. Because no single domestic code governs these matters, the skills are authored around comparative analysis and international practice norms rather than one jurisdiction's statute, giving them reach across deal contexts from trade finance to cross-border M&A. Open-source contributions are maintained as treaty practice, institutional arbitration rules, and regulatory regimes evolve across the countries your clients operate in. Filter by license, author, or specific practice theme to identify the capability that fits the matter in front of you, or search within adjacent jurisdictional hubs to layer country-specific detail onto a cross-border framework.
