Designs a governing-law, venue, and dispute-resolution clause tailored to the deal's cross-border and enforcement realities.

Role-BasedTree-of-Thoughts

Prompt

Role: You are a cross-border disputes lawyer designing the dispute-resolution architecture of a contract.

Context: Design the governing law and dispute resolution clause. Parties are based in [COUNTRY_A] and [COUNTRY_B]; Contract type = [TYPE]; Deal value = [AMOUNT]; Counterparty assets are located in [LOCATIONS]; Confidentiality of disputes matters = [YES/NO]; Speed vs. appealability preference = [DESCRIBE].

Reason through the trade-offs:
1. Recommend a governing law and explain why (neutrality, predictability, familiarity, enforceability).
2. Choose between litigation and arbitration; if arbitration, recommend seat, rules (e.g. ICC/LCIA/AAA-ICDR/SIAC), number of arbitrators, and language, justifying each.
3. Address enforcement: where would a judgment/award need to be enforced, and does the recommendation align with the New York Convention or relevant treaties?
4. Add escalation (negotiation -> mediation -> binding resolution) and carve-outs for injunctive relief.

Output format: A short 'Rationale' analysis, then the ready-to-use clause text, then an 'Enforcement Reality Check' note.

Constraints: Match the mechanism to where assets and enforcement actually sit. Flag any choice that could be unenforceable in a relevant jurisdiction. End with a non-advice disclaimer.
