Firm Profile
The Reasons
If you are not involved in international markets, you soon will be. The globalization of markets, production capacity and financial resources force a fresh look at our business environment. Once, organizations formed their base domestically first, then ventured cautiously into the "international arena." Today, markets and technologies move too fast for that approach to be successful. Labor costs, access to funds and competition are all determined by worldwide activities. We have seen the strong falter because they missed this essential point.
Currently, the spread of the Internet has made crossing borders seems deceptively easy, but the Internet's existence has not canceled the higher risks of international businesses, and the temptation to "do it yourself" should be resisted. There is still no substitute for experience and careful planning to avoid expensive mistakes and to maximize rewards.
It is my objective to help my clients prepare their strategy early, to realize their share of world markets. Setting up the right infrastructure for your business is critically important, not just to comply with the law, but to avoid unnecessary costs. Working exclusively in international business law, I have over 25 years of hands-on, business-oriented experience, spanning over forty countries. I have worked side-by-side with managers 'on the ground' in 20 countries, and coordinated international administrative support services at the corporate level. My approach to providing legal services is practical, focused and efficient.
