International Trade Law
In an era of deeply integrated global supply chains and rapidly shifting economic conditions, cross-border transactions involve far more than commercial negotiations. Export controls, customs and tariff regulations, trade remedies, sanctions, rules of origin, and contract performance risks have become integral compliance challenges for businesses engaged in international trade.
1. Trade Contracts & Risk Management
International trade agreements often span multiple legal systems, languages, and business cultures. We assist with:
-
Drafting and reviewing international sales contracts, agency and distribution agreements, technology licensing, and OEM/ODM contracts
-
Structuring key contractual terms, including payment, force majeure, and dispute resolution clauses
-
Assessing transportation, cargo risk, and insurance obligations
-
Supporting bilingual negotiations with foreign counterparties
Our advice is grounded in both legal protection and commercial practicality.
2. Trade Disputes & International Arbitration
When cross-border disputes arise, effective resolution requires familiarity with international arbitration and multi-jurisdictional litigation. We provide support in:
-
Jurisdictional risk assessment and forum selection
-
Disputes involving goods quality, delivery delays, payment recovery, and letters of credit
-
Coordinating with foreign counsel in overseas litigation and arbitration proceedings
We aim to resolve disputes efficiently while minimizing legal and commercial exposure.
3. Anti-Dumping, Subsidy & Trade Remedy Matters
Trade remedy investigations pose significant risks to market access and pricing. We assist clients with:

Responding to anti-dumping, countervailing duty, and safeguard investigations
-
Preparing submissions and supporting materials to seek favorable determinations
-
Coordinating with foreign counsel and industry associations
-
Developing strategic responses, including supply chain adjustments
Our approach combines legal analysis with industry and policy awareness.
4. Sanctions & Export Control Compliance

-
Export control and sanctions applicability assessments

Compliance strategies and internal controls
