You may be involved in an international acquisition, merger or a joint venture. Perhaps you are considering the distribution of your products internationally and need to know what the legal implications are in different countries. It may be that you are establishing a base abroad and need trading and employment contracts drafting. On a more practical level you might simply be in dispute with a foreign company, or need to recover money from an organisation in another country. You may need to protect your intellectual property in another country or on the internet, or you may be acquiring real estate or commercial property.
