Lawyer in International Law
The expertise and global network of Cabinet Bensussan (BB&A)
In a world where commercial and legal relationships increasingly transcend borders, mastering international issues has become essential for businesses and individuals alike. Engaging a lawyer specializing in international law, such as those at Bensussan (BB&A), ensures the security and optimization of international projects.
As a member of the global network Alliott Global Alliance, BB&A benefits from a unique ecosystem of lawyers and accountants, combining legal and tax expertise to address transnational challenges effectively.
Expertise in International Regulations
One of the primary reasons for seeking an international law attorney is the complexity of rules governing international contracts and disputes. These regulations go beyond national legislation and include:
- International conventions, such as the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG).
- General principles of international commercial law, including those established by the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC).
- Local laws of the relevant country, which can vary significantly and require tailored adaptations for each specific case.
The specialized lawyers at BB&A have in-depth knowledge of these regulations and apply them effectively across jurisdictions, enabling businesses and individuals to anticipate and manage legal risks with confidence.
A Strategic Vision of Tax and Legal Frameworks
Before committing significant financial and human resources to an international project, it is crucial to understand the applicable tax and legal framework. This includes:
- Assessing tax obligations: Understanding the taxation rules in the country where the contracting party operates, including bilateral tax treaties to prevent double taxation.
- Analyzing legal risks: Identifying specific contractual risks, dispute resolution clauses, and jurisdiction or arbitration mechanisms.
- Ensuring regulatory compliance: Verifying that operations adhere to local standards, whether in corporate law, customs regulations, or foreign investment restrictions.
Thanks to its integration into the Alliott Global Alliance network, BB&A can leverage local experts in over 90 countries to provide in-depth, tailored analyses.
Support in Transnational Negotiations
In international business, contract negotiation is a critical step. The involvement of an international law attorney ensures:
- The contract accurately reflects the interests and legal security of the parties involved.
- The inclusion of specific clauses to address cultural and legal differences (force majeure, arbitration, confidentiality, etc.).
- That the contract is drafted in a clear and legally recognized language.
BB&A’s lawyers are also trained in arbitration and alternative dispute resolution methods, offering a significant advantage in cross-border disputes.
