Y ello, desde que la interpretación, validez y ejecución de los sinalagmas, fueron sometidas a la aplicación de las leyes correspondientes al Estado de Nueva York.

investigué y sinalagmas hace referencia a lo que es "bilateral" o acordado por ambas partes en el contrato.
Quiere decir que se aplicaron las leyes de NY para la interpretacion de lo acordado? o hay otro significado para sinalagmas?

English translation:synallagmatic contract
Explanation:
In civil law systems, a synallagmatic contract is a contract in which each party to the contract is bound to provide something to the other party.[1] Its name is derived from the Ancient Greek συνάλλαγμα (synallagma), meaning mutual agreement.[2] Examples of synallagmatic contracts include contracts of sale, of service, or of hiring.

In common law jurisdictions, it is roughly the equivalent of a bilateral contract and may be contrasted with a gift (as such a relationship is not one of contract) or a unilateral contract in which only one party makes an enforceable promise.

In his comments on the case of Hong Kong Fir Shipping Co Ltd. v Kawasaki Kisen Kaisha Ltd. (1957), Lord Diplock said:

"Every synallagmatic contract contains in it the seeds of the problem - in what event will a party be relieved of his undertaking to do that which he has agreed to do but has not yet done?" [3]
