3Commercial law in the B2B sector: legal certainty for international business relationships
Are you a businessman or do you run a trading company that sells goods to other companies or imports them yourself? Then you cannot avoid commercial law. Commercial law forms the foundation for legally secure transactions between merchants and trading companies and minimizes legal uncertainties in cooperation.
Commercial law regulates the special legal relationships between merchants, including sole traders and companies under commercial law. The legal basis can be found primarily in the Commercial Code (HGB), which provides special rules compared to general civil law. In important areas, it modifies the law applicable to the "normal" participant in commercial transactions, taking into account typical commercial customs and special features of company law. Formal requirements that are binding in general legal transactions are not applicable in certain cases for commercial transactions - an advantage that, however, requires in-depth knowledge in order to exclude legal risks.
International trade rules such as Incoterms 2020, ICC or the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) apply to international trade transactions.

Clear legal bases play a crucial role in international trade. By applying Incoterms 2020, the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) and the requirements of the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC), you create reliable framework conditions for cross-border contracts. The Rome I Regulation regulates which national law applies to international contracts and thus ensures clarity in complex legal issues.
