When a domestic company decides to develop its international business, it pays to decide at the outset the legal and business framework the global operation should adopt.

There are a number of important issues to address, such as the tax implications of how and where to recognise income, whether to pursue a licensing or distribution strategy and how best to identify the right local partners.

The company also needs to decide if the foreign markets are to be developed by wholly-owned subsidiaries, joint ventures or independent local partners.

This has been at the core of our practice since its foundation. With over twenty-five years of international experience, we have built up a wealth of expertise in guiding clients through this process.

We have also developed a global network of contacts that enables us in many cases to introduce our clients to suitable local partners. This is a factor that significantly differentiates us from other lawyers in this field.
