International
An International Team Counseling Non-U.S. Companies
If you are based outside the United States and need legal assistance with your existing U.S. affiliate, or if you want to enter the U.S. market, we can help. We regularly advise companies from abroad in virtually all legal issues they face in the U.S. We are bilingual or multilingual, multicultural, and are trained in one or more foreign legal systems. Our ‘think global, act local’ approach, relying on an extensive network of local counsel worldwide and our deep ties to attorneys trained at U.S. “Big Law”, who provide backup resources and the specialty services we seek when needed, helps clients respond to the changing times and address their local needs.
Our international representations include mergers and acquisitions, commercial transactions, intellectual property, litigation and dispute resolution, and labor and employment. In addition to what we offer “in-house”, we team up with outside resources that we manage for you to offer securities compliance, financing, antitrust and competition law, construction, environmental, and tax legal services.
In addition to large, public, and private multinational corporations, we advise mid-sized and smaller companies based outside the U.S., investor groups, and individuals in all legal matters relating to their business activities in the U.S.
Our lawyers represent clients across a wide range of industries, including software and information technology, consumer brands, life sciences, medical devices, pharmaceutical, chemical, industrial equipment, food and beverage, and fashion, among others. We know our clients’ industries and understand their business culture and needs with respect to foreign investments and U.S.-based commercial operations.
Our familiarity with foreign civil law legal systems and business cultures make us uniquely sensitive to the requirements of clients from abroad. It also allows us to offer practical and efficient solutions to both legal and business problems that take into account not only the latest developments in U.S. law and practice, but also any special legal requirements of the client’s country.
