One way or another, all businesses feel the effects:- transnational giants know the cost of compliance abroad; - emerging transnational companies face the constant risk of noncompliance;- domestic companies are losing out on opportunities abroad.To remain competitive, companies must use a global strategy to maximize profits, using cross-border employment, foreign consumer markets, and foreign tax advantages.. I give businesses immediate access to cross-border strategy. I help clients of all sizes formulate, refine, and implement global strategies for the global stage. I constructively advise in-house managers, while assertively managing outside counsel in jurisdictions abroad. With rapid results, businesses get the knowledge and resources they need to compete on the global stage.

For more than twenty years, I have been representing companies doing business in emerging market countries. I have found that the most important thing in conducting legal work in an emerging market country is to take nothing for granted and to work with the right people. It has taken me many years to build up my worldwide network, and it takes constant communication and travel to maintain it. My work has been as varied as securing the release of two improperly held helicopters in Papua New Guinea, setting up a legal framework to move slag from Canada to Poland's interior, overseeing hundreds of litigation and arbitration matters in Korea, and seizing fish product in China to collect a long overdue debt by a Russian company.
