International transactions can differ significantly from domestic ones. Different prevailing business cultures and legal structures present challenges that simply do not exist in domestic deals. American assumptions about the rule of law, basic contract principles, employment, pricing and competition laws and regulations may have no relevance in the international context. Your law firm or legal department can draw on our cross-border transactional skills and network of international relationships to add value to your clients.
Whether you are considering outsourcing manufacturing to Asia, purchasing a company in Europe or establishing foreign distribution channels in the Middle East, businesses looking to venture abroad should have an experienced professional representing them. Let us put our extensive international experience working in Asia and Europe to work for you!
For over a decade, we have drafted and negotiated various commercial contracts, managed litigation, acquired and divested companies on behalf of our clients, using local counsel in a cost effective manner. We have significant legal experience drafting and negotiating in the following countries:
