International

In today’s global marketplace, companies face legal challenges that require specific knowledge of procedures, regulations, and customs all over the world. Nixon Peabody’s International Practice includes attorneys with many years of hands-on experience in the major international markets, including Europe, Latin America, and Asia. We provide domestic and overseas clients with highly-informed counsel on a wide range of cross-border transactions and trade matters.

Our attorneys work with a trusted network of local counsel in countries across the globe to assure prompt, effective service. As international trade issues increasingly include political considerations, we often work with lawyers in the firm’s Government Relations practice to develop and implement trade-related government relations strategies. Our M&A, Financial Services, International Arbitration, Project Finance, Equipment Leasing, Tax, and Intellectual Property groups are also consulted on a regular basis.

We have counseled and represented clients in the following types of transactions:

  • Cross-border mergers and acquisitions
  • International loan and syndicated loan agreements
  • Negotiation and drafting of commercial agreements of all types
  • World Bank development loan and sovereign debt issues
  • U.S. Export-Import Bank credit facilities
  • Maritime matters
  • Cross border lease transactions
  • International project finance and structured finance arrangements
  • International tax and tax planning
  • Creation of foreign branches and subsidiaries
  • International private equity transactions
  • Privatizations
  • Trade (anti-dumping, countervailing duty and “escape clause”) proceedings in the U.S. and elsewhere
  • Anti-boycott and economic embargo compliance
  • U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) issues
  • U.S. export regulation compliance
  • NAFTA issues

Clients count on our thorough knowledge of the legal issues facing U.S. companies operating overseas, including tax, regulatory, and antitrust matters. Our familiarity with local business customs and practices enable us to offer advice that is legally sound, commercially practical, and cost effective.
