ABSTRACT
International contracts are those whereby the agreement made by the parties is potentially submitted to two or more legal systems which, in turn, may provide for different rules on the same subject matter. They are generally written in legal English style and are available in model forms to be reproduced and used in international contexts by multilegal and multilingual parties. The increase in globalized commercial and business transactions has enabled researchers to access compilations of authentic and legally valid samples of contracts settled in English between multilegal and multilingual parties provided by sources of authority. A predictive conditional makes a statement about the logic outcome of a given situation and is the most frequent category of legal conditionals. The chapter concludes by making some considerations and implications of the research on international contracts in the current global context involving multilegal and multilingual parties.
