Sudanese Commercial Law Office (SCLO) advises international clients, law firms, and businesses on the full lifecycle of commercial contracts governed by or subject to Sudanese law — from initial drafting and negotiation through to enforcement, dispute resolution, and termination.

Our deep understanding of Sudanese contract law, including the Civil Transactions Act 1984 and sector-specific regulatory requirements, allows us to draft agreements that are robust, enforceable, and commercially sound. We advise on governing law and jurisdiction clauses, ensuring international clients understand the practical implications of Sudanese law applying to their agreements and the options available to them.

SCLO's contracts practice covers the full range of commercial agreements including joint operating agreements, agency and distribution agreements, construction and EPC contracts, service agreements, supply contracts, software and technology agreements, employment contracts, real estate agreements, and government contracts. We draft in English and Arabic and advise on the enforceability of English-language contracts under Sudanese law — a critical issue for international clients whose counterparties are Sudanese entities.

Among our recent mandates: advising a leading international courier company on the termination of its Joint Operating Agreement with its local Sudanese counterpart, including advising on termination mechanics, consequences, and post-termination obligations under Sudanese law.

In the event of a contractual dispute, SCLO advises and represents clients through negotiation, mediation, arbitration, and litigation — pursuing the most effective and efficient resolution mechanism for each matter.
