The ongoing process of globalization implies the emergence of
a greater international cohesion of the business world. There
is currently a level of interexchange of goods and services that was
completely
unthinkable just a few decades ago which, amongst other things, is creating new
business opportunities.
Many countries have been taking advantage of this process, by
opening their frontiers to international trade and allow FDI
(Foreign-Direct-Investment), as well as incentivizing local companies to
expand
their business overseas. A clear example of pro-globalization policies
include
regional agreements such MERCOSUR, NAFTA and EU.
In addition to generating business opportunities,
globalization has created new challenges and risks as legal system are
intrinsically national. In addition to differences in terms of
regulation,
there are considerable procedural uncertainties that need to be overcome
to
achieve international business transactions.
As a result of the above challenges and opportunities, clients
require and expect value-for-money as well as a comprehensive scope of
service
at an international level. Global transactions require legal
professionals
which are competent at negotiating and drafting international commercial
agreements, as
well as insightful of commercial and legal issues at a local and
international
level. Therefore, commercially oriented
lawyers worldwide are aligning themselves into networks and working
together to
offer their clients a global coverage.
Our international credentials and comprehensive level of
service, not only results from the fact that we are fluent in most of
the languages
spoken in Europe and the Americas, but we also benefit from years of
relevant international
experience. This allows us to offer a personalised and tailored service
for our international and domestic clients seeking to do businesses
overseas.
