FORUM CONVENIENS Clause Samples

The 'forum conveniens' clause designates the most appropriate or convenient court or jurisdiction for resolving disputes arising from a contract or legal relationship. In practice, this clause allows parties to agree in advance on which court will hear any potential legal actions, often considering factors such as the location of the parties, the subject matter of the contract, or the place where obligations are to be performed. Its core function is to prevent disputes over jurisdiction, streamline litigation, and reduce the risk of parallel proceedings in multiple courts.
