Do I really need a contract legal review?

Hello. This is a corporate-specialized attorney from Daeryun Law Firm.

If you are running a medical device manufacturing business and planning overseas exports, contract legal review is essential.

In particular, when the other party is a foreign corporation like Germany, you need to diagnose the legal risks of the contract structure itself beyond simple language translation.

If there is no indication of governing law in the contract, you may have to go to a German court and German law may apply when disputes arise later.

Such provisions can pose risks of tens of millions of won or more to companies.

Also, even with English contracts, completely different legal effects may arise depending on interpretation.

Since one word or one sentence structure can completely change the company's revenue structure or dispute response capability, you must definitely conduct contract legal review.

Medical devices must reflect not only domestic Medical Devices Act but also international regulations and licensing requirements such as EU CE certification, German Medical Device Regulation (MDR), etc. in the contract content.

For example, if CE certification requirements, clinical trial data use, quality assurance and scope of liability are not specified in the contract, the export contract itself may be delayed or face legal disputes.

Inter-corporate contracts are legal acts.

Therefore, contract advice should be performed by attorneys with legal expertise.

In particular, when exporting to EU countries like Germany, you need to review international contract customs, German local laws, EU medical device regulations (CE certification, RA approval), and domestic Medical Devices Act together beyond simple translation.

If these are not reflected, companies may suffer significant losses in interpretation of contract conditions, scope of liability, and recall/quality issues.
