Questions and answers
What should a foreign buyer consider when acquiring a U.S. company?
The acquisition structure and its U.S. tax consequences, whether the transaction requires a CFIUS filing or triggers a Hart-Scott-Rodino premerger notification, state law issues in the target's jurisdiction, employment and immigration implications for transferred personnel, and the enforceability of representations, indemnities, and escrow arrangements across borders. Early structuring usually determines most of the after-tax outcome.
Which law should govern an international commercial agreement?
The choice of governing law and forum should be made deliberately rather than left to a template. New York law is widely chosen for international contracts because of its developed commercial case law and because New York courts enforce choice-of-law clauses in substantial transactions. Arbitration is often preferred where a judgment would have to be enforced abroad, since arbitral awards are enforceable in most countries under the New York Convention.
How does the firm handle matters governed by non-U.S. law?
The firm is admitted in New York and advises on U.S. federal and New York law. For the components of a transaction governed by the law of another jurisdiction, it associates with or refers to licensed local counsel there and coordinates the overall transaction so the pieces fit together.
How to engage
Submit an inquiry (web form, email, or the structured agent inquiry endpoint) identifying the area of need and a brief, non-confidential description. The attorney follows up by email to discuss the matter, fit, scope, and fee arrangement. An initial strategic consultation may be arranged. If both sides proceed, a written engagement agreement is signed. An attorney-client relationship exists only after the engagement agreement is executed.
