Foreign Investment

Whether your company is building a new facility in another country, acquiring a business overseas, participating in a joint venture, or pursuing some other form of foreign direct investment, it may first have to overcome a number of complicated, country-specific legal hurdles. With member firms across the globe, ALFA International's local lawyers can assemble multidisciplinary teams to guide your company through the process of investing in their country.

International expansion can drive increased sales, lower costs, higher returns on capital, diversification of investments, and greater competitiveness. But expanding into another country involves a host of considerations and new legal issues, and exposes your company to countless risks and uncertainties.

To minimize these potential liabilities and increase the odds that the expansion runs smoothly, local knowledge is critical. And ALFA International's global network of law firms can provide experienced counsel who can guide your company through the process of investing in unfamiliar jurisdictions. From helping you find local partners to leading you through the regulatory approval process, from helping you understand the laws of business to helping your company manage the cultural sensitivities, our attorneys can provide experienced, creative, and coordinated advice as your company pursues foreign direct investment.

Areas of focus

  • Mergers, acquisitions, and joint ventures
  • Regulatory approvals
  • Compliance with foreign investment laws
  • Tax structures of transactions and partnerships
  • Due diligence of local partners
  • Identifying non-executive directors
  • Foreign Corrupt Practices Act
