Los Angeles International Business Law Attorney
The Internet is a borderless business environment. As an attorney focusing in Internet and commercial law, I represent clients both in the United States and internationally who want to expand their businesses and their markets via the Web. I also represent clients who have international business disputes. While my office is in Los Angeles, my global law practice serves clients in Brazil, Singapore, Sweden, France, Britain, Korea, India, Spain, Mexico, Columbia and throughout the United States.
Examples of my international business clients include:
- Flower producers in South America who want to reach markets in the United States
- International pharmaceutical companies with global operations in India, Britain and Brazil
- Spanish automobile dealerships importing American cars to Spain
- A British physician who established an international organ donor web site
- Korean industrial manufacturers looking to expand sales to the United States market
Understanding Trade Barriers and International Law
What is legal in one country might not be legal in another. As a lawyer who understands U.S. business and Internet law, I assist international businesses in understanding trade barriers, regulatory barriers and other legal issues that may apply in the American market.
Competent legal advice can mean the difference between a successful international business venture and one mired in legal difficulty. I also help my clients understand Web site terms and conditions and privacy polices that apply to U.S. consumers.
International Web Sites
Some countries may have more favorable laws to place your server and Web site than others. For example, a gambling web site that would be illegal in California would be perfectly legal in Costa Rica or Britain. I can advise you in strategies to take advantage of the borderless business environment offered by the Internet.
International Business Disputes
While business on the Internet may be borderless, international business disputes must deal with the laws of different nations. Lawsuit judgments in one country may be difficult to enforce in another country. When a dispute involves the laws of different countries, you will need the assistance of a savvy international business lawyer.
