The COVID-19 pandemic is creating unprecedented disruption to businesses’ global operations. Organizations with cross-border interests are facing a myriad of issues related to the crisis, from supply chain interruption, to contract disputes, and more, that likely will require legal counsel. With lawyers located in the UK, Europe, the U.S. and Asia, we have broad experience in key international markets – built upon firsthand knowledge of local business and legal customs – and can help clients protect and advance their business interests.
