International Transactions
BizLegalServices advises multinational corporations and governmental organizations on transnational regulatory matters. We are qualified to represent clients before US and international courts and arbitration bodies, and interact with the relevant government bodies that regulate international trade and investment. We combine our corporate, litigation, and international trade experience to provide strategic consulting, international negotiation, and transnational government procurement services.
BizLegalServices assists domestic and non-U.S. clients with sophisticated international and cross-border transactions and agreements. We are prepared to assist you in establishing a foreign presence, navigating import/export procedures, and ensuring payment on international transactions. We actively assist global and non-U.S. concerns in in-bound transactions, and in establishing and developing their presence in the U.S. (including in acquiring or investing in U.S.-based or -organized businesses, in participating in joint ventures and in taking advantage of, and navigating the requirements of, the U.S. capital markets).
We are intricately familiar with the business, legal and social culture of, as well as the “players” in, many countries especially India and Ethiopia. We leverage our strong contacts and relationships with leading lawyers and other professionals in these countries (including others globally) to ensure superior local representation and knowledge wherever it is needed or appropriate. We assist U.S.-based clients in a variety of global and cross-border transactions and arrangements, including:
- Acquiring foreign businesses,
- Forming international joint ventures and alliances,
- Raising offshore investment capital, minimizing taxation
- Securing payment on international transactions
- Selling companies or divisions to foreign acquirers.
- Designing payment terms in agreements to avoid/reduce the risk of non-payment; late payment; or, if making payment, to make payment less burdensome and risky.
- Market-opening proceedings before the US Trade Representative
- International investment issues regulated by the US Securities and Exchange Commission
- International financial matters involving the Federal Reserve Board and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency
