The firm’s professionals promptly deliver practical, effective, and quality legal services. While many activities are on an issue-specific basis, special emphasis is placed on careful strategic business and legal planning prior to the establishment of new or reorganized activities. The firm does not have a general practice or full-service mentality, allowing each attorney, compliance director and legal assistant to develop specialized expertise consistent with the firm’s practice.
The firm has extensive experience with the structuring of import and export activities, governmental compliance and audits, establishment of U.S. and foreign operations, organization, development of necessary import/export compliance strategies, company licensing and representation relationships, and assisting clients with transnational commercial matters; and all aspects of the establishment, management, and reorganization of U.S. foreign-trade zones and subzones.
