How the practice operates
We advise companies engaged in international trade and cross-border operations on the drafting, review, and negotiation of predominantly English-law governed commercial agreements. Our work is particularly oriented toward transactions involving multiple jurisdictions, dealing with issues on applicable law, risk allocation, delivery terms, payment clauses, jurisdiction and dispute resolution.
Services do not include litigation, arbitration representation, or the conduct of reserved legal activities.
