Startup Success

International Chamber of Commerce

This package of foundational model contracts, designed to help entrepreneurs create start-up ventures on solid legal footing, is the latest addition to the renowned family of ICC model commercial contracts, and furthers ICC’s mission to provide technical support for SMEs.

*The ICC Model Contracts for Start-ups were developed by a dedicated working group of international expert practitioners associated with the ICC Commission on Commercial Law and Practice (CLP), and benefited particularly from the leadership and insight of CLP Commission Chair Ercüment Erdem (Turkey), as well as the active participation of the following members: Bettina Geisseler (Germany); Sergi Giménez Binder (Spain); Peter Poleacov (Germany); Ecem Süsoy (Turkey); Carlo Tabellini (Italy); and Cecilia Xu Lindsey (United Kingdom).

The models also benefitted from robust commentary from experts across the global network of ICC National committees.
