International Transactions

As our clients seek to expand in today’s modern, dynamic and borderless business economy, Maynard’s Corporate Group guides them toward achieving their international business objectives. The multitude of complex and divergent legal systems and regimes combined with cultural diversity make international expansion, growth, and operation very challenging. Members of our Corporate Group specializing in international transactions assist our clients with these objectives through international development, mergers and acquisitions, investments, joint ventures, strategic alliances and international sales, marketing, distribution, and licensing agreements.

From establishing an overseas branch location to developing new and distinct international business lines and structures, our international transactional attorneys have the experience, resources, and capability to help our clients achieve and successfully implement their international business objectives. Our experience spans the industrialized and developing world, including transactions in Asia, Australia, Central and South America, Europe, and the Middle East.
