We have often served as international managing counsel on transactions stretching across multiple countries, including sophisticated corporate and tax structures on deals for Fortune 500 companies. Our role includes a results-driven focus on the numerous legal aspects of the transaction, management of local counsel, budgeting, and contract negotiations.
We have built close working relationships with local counsel in countries around the world. Our network of global law firms includes members of the World Law Group (of which Faegre & Benson is a U.S. member), as well as dozens of lawyers and law firms on every continent with whom we have worked directly on international matters. We know these lawyers personally, and we are familiar with their experience and expertise. As a result, we can identify lawyers in various jurisdictions who are appropriate for specific transactions and can closely manage their involvement and expenses.
