About

Provided by Dentons

In order to gain market share, a company will often seek to develop its business internationally. This brings with it additional risks, which the company must manage. International trade involves not only tariff barriers, but non-tariff barriers, such as the different laws that apply to international commercial transactions between traders.

Companies engaging in international trade must negotiate their way through local laws, international treaties and the rules of common trade practices. Legal counsel must be versed in all three. 

The lawyers at Dentons have achieved successful outcomes in virtually all aspects of global trade and investment law. We have expertise in advising clients about bilateral and multilateral trade agreements, such as the WTO, NAFTA and the EU’s puzzle of regional trade deals. Leverage our in-house leading global expertise in trade and investment matters, as well as our reliable local connections in numerous jurisdictions who can provide you with seamless advice worldwide. 

As the expansion of global markets and value chains continues to make the world a smaller place, we keep you informed about the rules and practices governing your international business, as well as the tools that are available to them. We work with you to develop and implement the right strategies to keep you ahead of the curve.
