Our international business law practice is lead by a former early stage company CEO who successfully established manufacturing facilities in Asia and product distribution throughout Western Europe. We offer our clients an extensive network of relationships in China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, South Korea, Indonesia, Vietnam, The United Kingdom, France and Germany. Based on years of practical experience, our firm also provides specialized counsel for companies seeking to "offshore" manufacturing. Our relationships throughout Asia, and with respected sourcing companies and supply chain logistics experts, allow us to offer our clients a turn-key service that allows rapid deployment of their offshore strategy at minimal cost and risk. We also provide expert counsel on product sales, marketing, and distribution agreements, as well as counsel on custom and duty disputes and supply chain management issues. In addition, we have broad experience in the formation of offshore entities and joint ventures. Our practical business experience, combined with broad commercial transaction expertise, allows us to help our clients navigate what is often new and uncertain international territory.
