Cross-Border Trade & Finance

Cross-border acquisitions, investments, trade arrangements and financing involving foreign counterparties, capital and regulatory regimes.

Cross-border transactions add layers that domestic deals do not: different legal systems, foreign investment review, export and sanctions controls, currency and tax considerations, and counterparties who negotiate differently.

We advise investors, sponsors and companies on transactions that cross borders, and coordinate local counsel to keep the work consistent across jurisdictions.

What we handle

  • Inbound and outbound acquisitions and investments
  • International joint ventures and distribution
  • Trade, supply and offtake agreements
  • Foreign investment review and regulatory coordination
  • Export control and sanctions considerations in transactions
  • Development finance and government-supported capital

How we work

We act as coordinating U.S. counsel, aligning deal terms with local requirements and keeping one senior lawyer responsible for the whole transaction.
