International B2B

International B2B

Doing business across borders means agreeing terms with partners, distributors, agents, customers and suppliers who work under different law and different habits. We act as your counsel through that, keeping the legal side proportionate to the deal.

Cross-border contracts

The contract you use at home rarely travels unchanged. Language, payment, delivery, termination and liability all behave differently once the other party sits in another country, and so do the rules you cannot contract out of. We draft and negotiate the version that fits your deal.

Market entry and distribution

Selling into a new market starts with a choice: your own entity and staff, or a distributor, agent or reseller who already knows the ground. Each route carries different commitments, and some give the local party protection that is hard to undo. We help you choose, and plan the way out.

Working across jurisdictions

Most cross-border matters need someone on the ground. We bring a network of local resources and stay your single point of contact: briefing local counsel, reading what comes back in the context of your business, and making sure advice from several countries adds up to one workable answer.

Disputes and risk

Choice of law, forum and arbitration clauses look like boilerplate until something goes wrong, at which point they decide how long a dispute takes and what a judgment is worth. We think that through when the contract is signed, and flag early which disagreements are worth pursuing.
