Oral or cursory agreements have often been the root cause of litigation – what you understood and believed to be the agreement may be completely different from what your counterpart understood and believed. 

Transactions with foreign companies add a further level of complexity as parties’ understandings of terms and conditions are usually based on their local laws. Their own set of rules, culture, business customs and practices might be quite different from those in Hong Kong. Unless an agreement is put down in writing, you may well be in for a surprise.
