By looking at all the circumstances and elements surround the transaction, we are able to come up with a more efficient negotiation that fits your business and corporate needs.

Dealing with the institutions can become very complex, especially from a legal perspective. The role of International Institutions, such as the Central Bank, the IMF, the European Union, NAFTA, and the WTO has been key to regulations, obligations and opportunities for entities across the globe.

Litigation involving condominiums often include numerous parties, discovery and many factors to be considered. Whether the building has a defect, has been damaged, has a nuisance that becomes intolerable or someone is not paying the bills due, we discuss with our clients the different options available and their interests. Our objective is to put together a tactical and well-tailored plan to resolve the dispute in a way that meets our clients’ needs.

- International Services

• International Arbitration

We provide arbitration services as attorneys or as arbitrators in the United States and abroad. Arbitration can be a valid and efficient method of dispute resolution in certain cases, especially those that need to be expedited quickly. The costs of arbitration can often be equal or sometimes even lesser than the ones in regular court. Additionally, it provides clients with more flexibility as to the location of the dispute, the law applicable to the dispute and to the agreement, its procedure, confidentiality and the timeframe to resolve the dispute. Additionally, arbitration functions with a panel of arbitrators (usually between one (1) and three (3) arbitrators) that are usually picked by the parties.

• International Mediations

We provide international mediations for a wide variety of sectors that are useful to small businesses, corporations and individuals. Mediation is often helpful in an international setting to better understand the parties’ point of views in a litigation or in a transaction. In the international realm of legal services, there are many crucial factors that must be well understood culturally and legally. Mediation allows this process to take place and allows the parties or the attorneys to better plan for the litigation or transaction that will take place. It is also used to directly resolve disputes without going through the court system.

• International Commercial Agreements

There are multiple steps and considerations in a commercial agreement. Negotiations of an international commercial agreement should include thorough discussions and considerations for dispute resolution mechanisms, applicable laws, timelines and penalty clauses in certain cases. A proper transaction assesses the different options available to the client to protect his interests in the agreement and foresees possible litigation issues. Especially today, it is important to take into consideration every economical, legal and political element that may affect the agreement now or in the near future, so as to ensure the agreement is successful. That alone, however, remains insufficient in ensuring that the agreement will adequately protect the interest of the client.

• Business Set-up, Analysis & Strategies
