Bilateral

Anton Vasilescu edited this page May 9, 2023 · 1 revision

Bilateral means two-sided and is frequently used to refer to agreements between two countries. For example, the United States and Australia have a Bilateral trade agreement limiting tariffs or other protectionist policies between the two nations. 

Additionally, the doctrine of consideration means that a contract generally must be bilateral to be enforceable. 

Alternatives to bilateral include unilateral and multilateral.
