ICC Legal Handbook on Global Sourcing Contracts

“This handbook helps small companies build a better business plan for global sourcing. It covers all the important steps, from structuring requests for information, moving on to requests for proposals, to drafting contracts, evaluating suppliers and identifying possible loopholes.” 

-- Michael Hancock, co-chair of ICC’s Task Force on Global Sourcing and a consultant at the law firm Salans.

to consider as they undertake their sourcing strategies.
