I have found in some of my Turkish-English-Latin legal dictionaries the term Libertas Contrahendi. However, I cannot find it in other dictionaries.

Selected
"libertas negotii contrahendi"
I would add "negotii" (contract), since "contrahere" is quite a generic verb, meaning just "to engage" (for example, you might find "in libertate matrimonii contrahendi" "with the freedom of engaging marriage").

libertas paciscendi/libertas se locandi vel sui locandi
'Pacisci' is the general term for making a legally binding contract or striking any kind of bargain with someone. 'Locare' (or 'se locare') is used of the contractual obligations from the hired person's point of view. The dtwo are not the same and should not be confused. Roman law mae a distinction is such cases, but American law. and possibly modern iternational law, usually does not.
Note from asker:
| Thanks for your answer Alcaeus. What about libertas contrahendi, is it a mistranslation? |

: Cur non "libertas negotium / rem (cum aliquo ) contrahere" ? Re : Cicero. Se locare would imply employment related obligations, while this one would be more of a generic term.
