International Practice Group

Our International Practice Group provides both UK and foreign clients with the full range of legal services necessary to set up and carry on business on a global basis. Negotiating across different borders and cultures can easily lead to misunderstanding. Our lawyers work with open minds and understand the importance of flexibility, adaptability, pragmatism and a fluent understanding of many foreign languages.

We regularly give legal advice and assistance to clients and to other lawyers and law firms both inside and outside our international legal network with:

• Setting up companies and offices in the UK and overseas and providing corporate and company secretarial support
• Inward investment projects including advising on type of business vehicle, capitalisation, regulation, labour law, environment, property, real estate, directors' responsibilities, intellectual property protection and tax
• Structuring of acquisitions, joint ventures and strategic alliances and eventual disposal or exit mechanisms
• Debt and equity financing and commercial banking in the UK
• IPO's and secondary offerings
• Distribution and agency agreements, franchising, manufacture and supply agreements and outsourcing arrangements
• UK and European competition law compliance; and
• Intellectual property protection, exploitation and transfer

To ensure that our clients receive a consistently high quality of service we have, with other like-minded firms in key jurisdictions throughout the world, formed the Pannone Law Group EEIG (PLG). PLG today operates in 21 countries. We also work with specialist lawyers in the United States (USA).
