Brief
You send the papers, the parties, and what you want the deal to do.
International Business Law
Documents that hold up when a deal leaves home. We advise companies and principals when formation, contracts or a counterpart sit in more than one country — and we work with local counsel where admission in that country is required.
Businesses that sell, hire, license or invest across a border. Shareholders who need an agreement that still works if the relationship cools. Founders who are incorporating, opening a second company, or buying into an existing one and want the paper read before they sign.
We also act when a counterpart’s draft has already arrived and you need to know which clauses actually create exposure.
Typical files include company formation, shareholder and joint-venture arrangements, commercial contracts, agency and distribution terms, and the day-to-day questions that appear once a deal is no longer local.
We do not pretend that one template fits every jurisdiction. If the useful work has to happen with local counsel, we say so and stay on the file as the point of contact.
You send the papers, the parties, and what you want the deal to do.
We identify the jurisdictions, the real counterparties, and the clauses that create risk.
You receive written comments you can use with the other side or your board.
If you instruct us further, we draft or negotiate the next version.
Often yes. Many of these files already cross borders. We will tell you if a step has to be taken in another country and how we would handle that.
No. We advise on the structure and the documents. Where local filing is required, we work with counsel there rather than guess at a register we do not control.
We set a scope and a fee before work starts. A first review of a contract is usually a fixed piece of work. Larger files are billed against a plan you can see.
