Background
We can advise clients (and their lawyers) on all aspects of a broad
range of international transactions, including
mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures,
financings, and commercial agreements.
How can we help?
- Incoterms 2000: In many contracts there is a need
for specialist trade and customs input to determine the appropriate
point at which risk and title
passes.
- Customs valuation:
We can advise
how contracts should be framed in
order to minimise the dutiable value. This
is particularly important when
royalties are involved.
- Due diligence reviews:
We can provide comfort in respect of customs obligations, guarantees
and exposures. We have experience
in acting for both buyers and sellers.
- Contracts: Clauses covering customs procedural
and documentary requirements are
frequently mentioned in contracts.
We can advise
on the practicability and
desirability
of such clauses. When entering
into commercial agreements, from agency to joint ventures,
we can advise on the
trade and customs
arrangements and documentation
to best protect clients’ interests.
- Giving clients an edge:
We can
identify risks and opportunities
as they arise - providing an effective
assessment of a client’s bargaining strength and weaknesses
insofar as it relates to its potential customs
and trade contractual obligations.
