Complemented by deep expertise across relevant core sectors, our experts are trusted advisors to small, medium and large enterprises, publicly traded companies, family-owned businesses, foundations and start-ups. We serve both domestic and international investors and shareholders.
Our expertise covers the full spectrum of commercial needs, from business set-up, development and expansion to joint ventures, consolidation, restructuring and succession. We regularly advise clients on compliance and regulatory issues in heavily regulated sectors, as well as the full range of issues related to all types of business contracts including distribution & logistics, franchising, manufacturing, supply and subcontracting, tolling, merchandising and sponsorship. We also assist our clients to ensure they handle all their commercial disputes, including the pre-litigation stage, successfully and efficiently.
Our member firms also support clients with developing company statutes and shareholders agreements, internal procedures and intragroup arrangements, and general terms and conditions. We advise on issues related to environment and safety, family business succession, compliance and money laundering, consumer regulation, e-commerce, product liability, and corporate governance, among many others. We provide legal support services to clients on an ongoing basis, including corporate housekeeping, with cost and time efficiency in mind. We are able to advise clients in a wider international business context, as well as vis a vis national considerations, when their needs expand across borders.
Our commercial advisors also draw upon other related practice and sector groups across ADVANT to provide exactly the right expertise for each client’s unique circumstances. This includes working collaboratively with experts from areas such as tax, restructuring, mergers and acquisitions, banking and finance, data protection, employment, dispute resolution and arbitration to ensure a truly holistic service.
