International Corporate Law

To be truly competitive in business today, companies must have a business orientation that is at least international, if not multinational, in scope. This means that modern-day companies must open themselves up to dealing not only with the laws of the country in which they are domiciled, but also with the laws of the countries in which they transact business operations.

International Corporate law, therefore, is an amalgam of private contractual arrangements, national laws and foreign country laws. The breadth and extent of International Corporate Law is often times not fully recognized or appreciated. Adding to the complexity of International Corporate Law are the varied forms that international business operations assume.

These forms include incoming/outgoing foreign investments, foreign joint ventures, foreign distributor/agent relationships, foreign mergers and acquisitions, international restructurings, new technology exploitation and intellectual property licensing.

In providing International Corporate Law Services, Gatti & Associates works with small and medium-sized businesses, multi-national concerns, U.S.-base operations, foreign operations and industries of all types.
