Cross-Border Transactions
Cross-Border Transactions
Our attorneys routinely represent non-U.S. clients who need full-service representation in this country, as well as facilitate the legal needs of U.S. entities throughout the world.
Clients appreciate the firm's membership in Lex Mundi, a global referral network of law firms with more than 30,000 attorneys in 100 countries, giving them access to full-service local counsel. Four of our partners hold leadership roles in Lex Mundi – in business crimes and compliance, competition and health law as well as litigation – with one serving on the international board of directors.
Our attorneys counsel clients on all types of cross-border business relationships and agreements including:
- Mergers and acquisitions
- Joint ventures
- Restructurings
- Customs/import compliance
- Project financings
- Management buyouts
We also have experience in advising on issues that may arise during the acquisition of a U.S. business by a foreign person, including national security reviews under Exon-Florio by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) and foreign ownership, control or influence (FOCI) mitigation of classified businesses by the Defense Security Service.
