  2. Step 2Coordinate counsel and advisers in each country.
  3. Step 3Protect people and assets.
  4. Step 4Pursue settlement or proceedings.

What is needed varies by country and by matter. Your WONE Global professional confirms the work, timing and fees before anything starts.

Across borders

Complications to check

Issues to assess when more than one country is involved. They are prompts, not conclusions about any country's law.

  • Foreign investment controlsA proposed ownership change may require sector or national security clearance
  • Merger control timingA proposed transaction may need clearance in multiple markets
  • Environmental permit interfacesProjects cross regional, national or transboundary environmental regimes
  • Court vs arbitration forumAgreement uses arbitration while assets and key witnesses are in different countries
  • Recognition of judgmentsA party wins abroad but needs lawful local recognition and enforcement
