International trade law
New markets, new opportunities. With the right rules.
Operating on international markets means dealing with different legal systems, different commercial practices and greater complexity in managing contractual relationships.
The choice of governing law, delivery terms, payment arrangements, the allocation of liability and the dispute resolution mechanisms can all have a significant impact on the financial outcome of a transaction.
Legal Bloom® supports businesses through internationalisation, in negotiating cross-border commercial relationships and in handling problems with foreign counterparties.

Our approach
Internationalisation calls for a commercial strategy backed by a proper legal assessment.
We step in when a market is being entered, while commercial relationships are being built and when problems arise during their performance.
Where needed, we coordinate with professionals and advisers specialised in the foreign legal systems involved.
Expanding abroad means taking on new risks. Knowing them is what makes it possible to manage them without giving up the opportunities.
