GE often enters into contract negotiations with foreign companies.
They always begin with verbal conferences between their lawyers and the other company's er.
This is where the foundation of the contract comes from.
You just don't write contracts without a framework.
Mistakes in interpretation mean that the contract is written wrong.
That causes delays as the contract goes back and forth to try and hash out what each company had thought was already agreed upon.
My ex-wife worked for GE law department.
