Doing business overseas

Doing business overseas can be an effective way to grow your business, spread risk, increase productivity and reduce your dependence on the Australian market.

When you're entering new overseas markets, we work with you to support your expansion strategy – helping you to understand the country’s culture, customs, and laws, and the unspoken rules that will ultimately help you better tailor your business for that market.

We provide solutions across the full risk spectrum and the full lifecycle of entering a new overseas market:

  • Market and risk analysis
  • Export and expansion financing
  • WTO law, multilateral regulation, free trade agreements and bilateral investment treaties
  • Contracts with customers, distributors, supply chain and logistics providers
  • Intellectual property protection
  • Tax structuring, BEPs, transfer pricing and tax treaties
  • Sanctions, export controls, trade remedies, customs and trade barrier matters
  • Employee and industrial relations
  • Anti-bribery and corruption, anti-money laundering and other extraterritorial regulatory issues
  • Migration and special investor visas
  • Public international law, WTO dispute settlement and investor state dispute settlement
  • Private disputes, international arbitration and enforcement of judgements.
