Common use of Legal Risks Clause in Contracts

Legal Risks. International adoption involves significant legal risks, as there are four separate legal systems involved: state law, federal law, foreign law, and international law. Such laws and policies and changes thereto and updates thereof are beyond the control of MLJ. MLJ cannot and does not guarantee that the laws and policies of the sending country or the laws and policies of the receiving country will not change causing significant impediments to the adoption process for Parent(s) or disallowing a successful adoption for Parent(s) altogether. Parent(s) understand that, while MLJ will make reasonable efforts to remedy all legal problems, due to the conflict of laws (United States law vs. Foreign or International law), there may not be an adequate remedy at law for Parent(s). These legal risks include the possibility that the foreign country’s government could change the laws regarding adoption prohibiting Parent(s) from continuing with the adoption. There is the possibility that the foreign country could become engaged in a civil or international dispute/conflict/transfer of power that would consequently inhibit the adoption process. MLJ cannot and does not guarantee that: (a) Any child will be referred to Parent(s) or placed with Parent(s) for purposes of adoption; (b) Any child will be placed with Parent(s) for the purposes of adoption (c) The Child will be allowed to immigrate to the receiving country; or (d) ▇▇▇▇▇▇(s) will be successful in the adoption of any child. As MLJ represents Parent(s) as their attorney or agency throughout the international adoption process, MLJ requests that any legal questions Parent(s) may have regarding adoption will be directed to MLJ.
