Regulatory & Trade

Our Regulatory & Trade Practice offers comprehensive legal services across a wide range of industry sectors, providing tailored solutions to address your specific needs. Our experienced team assists on both international and domestic trade matters, advising clients on key regulatory issues impacting businesses.

 

We assist on international trade matters from international trade treaties, to working with foreign counsels to navigate cross-border trade laws, to seeking middle ground with regulators where local laws conflict with international laws. This includes advising on navigating sanctions, US Anti-Boycott rules, local currency restrictions, and prohibited and restricted end user lists.

 

Our domestic trade experience involves import and export controls, import relief actions, anti-dumping, countervailing duties and safeguards, customs classifications, applicable trade sanctions and permit requirements, valuation and rules of origin matters. This includes advising on various local regulatory licensing requirements, including registration for franchise licences, travel agency licences, direct sales licences, catalogue-based distance selling businesses.

 

The regional arm of our Trade practice group extends across ASEAN, where members of our network regularly advise large conglomerates and multinational corporations located across ASEAN nations, China, European Union countries, India, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, United Kingdom, and United States.
