For most heads of legal and commercial contracts, cross-border deals feel like a jurisdiction problem. They are not. They are a contract problem. The governing law is disputed. The liability cap does not reflect the deal's reality. The supplier clause was drafted for a different market. By the time someone catches it, the deal has stalled, or worse, closed on the wrong terms. My job is to make sure that does not happen. I am Gurbinder Singh. I have spent 11 years structuring, reviewing, and negotiating commercial contracts across India, Switzerland, the US, and Europe, working both inside in-house legal teams and alongside law firms. That combination is rare. It means I understand how the other side of the table thinks, because I have sat on it. Some of what I have handled: - A $25M Letter of Intent, 3-party cross-border deal, drafted in 24 hours when the window was closing fast. - An $80K India-Canada manufacturing contract, the previous professional stalled for a month. I closed it in 7 days. The deal was never the problem. The contract structure was. - A $90M real estate loan agreement, 340 pages, redlined and delivered on deadline. - A ₹600 crore land acquisition, led full legal due diligence involving a listed Indian energy company, government counsels, and a Hong Kong-based subsidiary. - 12,000+ enterprise contracts managed for a Fortune 1000 US banking client. I work with General Counsels, heads of commercial contracts, and senior legal leads at companies operating across India, Switzerland, the US, and Europe. Specifically on deals where getting it wrong is not an option. I provide contract drafting, structuring, review, and negotiation as an experienced cross-border contracts professional. If you are managing cross-border deals and need someone who understands both sides of the table, send me a message. 📩 [email protected]
