Our Trade & Commerce Practice Group provides a complete range of services. Our team members frequently deal with commercial transactions and related legal issues, from drafting and negotiating complex distribution agreements, agency agreements and franchise agreements, to structuring and maintenance of cross-border commercial activities including advisory on consumer protection, customs-related activities, product safety, warranty certificates and regulations on after-sales services.
We advise major industrial, financial services, IT, consumer products, pharmaceutical and energy companies on sourcing, manufacturing, distributing and selling their products and services around the world. We help clients select, monitor and manage their relationships with third-party suppliers, manufacturers, distributors and sales agents, and advise them on compliance issues across the supply chain spectrum such as anti-corruption, anti-bribery, trade sanctions, export and import controls (customs) as well as product labeling requirements, product liability and recalls, and sales promotion and marketing rules across multiple countries.
