Expanding your business across the Atlantic brings exciting opportunities and a host of trade regulations. Our firm assists companies engaged in cross-border deals between the U.S. and Europe, helping you navigate the complex requirements of importing and exporting goods. We advise you on U.S. and EU customs regulations, guide you through tariff classifications, and identify when specific permits or licenses are needed for certain products.
We also help you comply with all applicable trade laws on both sides of the ocean. Our attorneys stay up-to-date on U.S. and European trade compliance rules, from export control and sanctions laws to standards for product safety and labeling. We review your transatlantic business plans to make sure you aren’t inadvertently running afoul of any trade restrictions. Additionally, we negotiate and draft international sales contracts, distribution agreements, and joint venture agreements that account for differences in legal systems and effectively protect your interests abroad. With our support, your transatlantic transactions proceed efficiently and legally, allowing you to expand into overseas markets with confidence.
