International growth exposes your company to specific risks: applicable law, poorly drafted clauses, courts located abroad, high stakes. An international business lawyer secures your commercial relationships and reduces the risk of litigation.
Since 2011, Lex-Port has advised executives, exporters and investors on every aspect of the commercial relationship: from contract negotiation to structuring a local presence. Our approach: a global, tailor-made view of each project — legal, tax and operational.
Drafting and negotiating your international contracts: sale, distribution, commercial agency, licensing, partnerships and joint ventures. We secure the decisive clauses — applicable law, competent jurisdiction, transport, Incoterms, payment guarantees, product compliance with local standards — so that the contract protects you the day the relationship turns sour.
Securing your export/import flows: export general terms of sale, regulatory compliance, assistance during negotiations. We help you prevent disputes and end a commercial relationship without litigation. We act in cases of abrupt termination of established commercial relationships.
Support for foreign investors from feasibility study to incorporation: choice of legal form, compliance with French regulations, employment and tax obligations, dealings with the authorities. The team works directly in English and Russian.
Analysis of the tax consequences of your cross-border operations under double taxation treaties: intra-group flows, remuneration, structuring of your local presence.
Representation before French courts and coordination of proceedings abroad through our correspondents: commercial litigation, international arbitration, cross-border debt recovery, termination of commercial relationships.
