We advise on international operations and cross-border business transactions; ensuring compliance, managing risks, and maximizing results.
Navigating the intricate landscape of international law and cross-border transactions is a considerable and vital task for any business that operates on a global scale. A deep understanding of applicable domestic laws and international regulations, including, but not limited to, the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG), the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), the U.K. Bribery Act, as well as the ever-changing guidelines and agreements of the World Trade Organization (WTO) is absolutely critical. It's also important to take into account the distinct regulatory environments of each country in which the business operates. These regulations can significantly impact a company's risk profile and operational effectiveness.
International sales contracts are a fundamental part of cross-border transactions. The CISG is a uniform law governing these contracts and is accepted by a large number of countries. Its understanding and correct application can make a significant difference to the successful outcome of your international commercial transactions. It is also crucial to consider the choice of law and jurisdiction clauses in these contracts to determine which country's laws will apply and where any disputes will be resolved.
Anti-corruption compliance is another critical aspect, particularly for businesses with operations or partners in multiple jurisdictions. Laws such as the FCPA and the UK Bribery Act impose stringent obligations on businesses to prevent bribery and corruption in their international operations. A robust compliance program, including policies, procedures, and staff training, is paramount to ensure adherence to these laws.
International trade regulations, such as those overseen by the WTO, are also crucial for businesses involved in importing and exporting goods. These rules encompass areas such as tariffs, trade remedies, intellectual property rights, and dispute resolution. Staying abreast of these regulations and negotiating trade agreements can be complex but are crucial to the smooth operation of cross-border trade activities.
