Transatlantic Perspective
Our dual legal qualification in both the EU and North America (U.S. and Canada), combined with our many years of professional experience in France, the UK and the U.S. allows us to be ideally positioned to understand the needs of both European companies looking to establish themselves or expand in North America and of U.S. companies interested in doing business in Europe.
Whereas a number of our clients request our assistance in support of their local operations under local law, whether in the EU or the U.S., our market differentiator and value add stems from our ability to offer outbound legal support to U.S.-based clients in Europe or to clients from the EU who need our assistance with navigating the U.S. legal and regulatory landscape.
Our cross-border focus takes the form of transactional legal support, drafting, localizing and negotiating contracts, website and mobile app terms of use, e/m commerce terms of sale, or privacy policies under both European and U.S. laws, and of general legal and regulatory support in bringing and maintaining our clients’ operations in compliance with local laws, whether in the EU or the U.S.
Transatlantic Cross-Border Legal Support
Your company is U.S.-based but targets customers based in the EU.
We assist your company by localizing its U.S. contracts for use in the EU, and by negotiating them under local laws with EU-based suppliers, customers and partners.
We also create or localize you online terms of sale, your website or mobile app terms of use, or your SaaS/online platform terms for use in the EU.
Legal and Regulatory Cross-Border Compliance
Your company is EU-based or recently opened its first office in the U.S.
We assist your company by ensuring that it conducts its business in the U.S. in accordance with U.S. federal and state laws and regulations.
This could include ensuring that your internal policies are U.S.-compliant, but also that your customer-facing documentation is in line with U.S. legal standards, particularly in the area of privacy and data security. It could also mean ensuring that your company’s marketing campaigns to customers and prospects are in accordance with U.S. marketing and advertising laws.
Your company is U.S.-based and is looking to establish an online presence in the EU in order to markets its products and services to EU-based customers.
Our assistance could consist of helping your company comply with EU privacy laws (including GDPR compliance) in connection with its processing of personal data of EU-based customers and prospects.
We can also assist your company in localizing its online terms and conditions and privacy policy for use in the EU.
