Cross-border business brings an added layer of complexity — different legal systems, regulatory regimes, and business customs all have to be reconciled into a single workable agreement. KSJ helps clients structure international licensing arrangements, contract manufacturing relationships, and joint ventures that function across those differences.

We work to anticipate where a cross-border deal is most likely to run into friction — currency and payment terms, IP protection abroad, dispute resolution forums — and build agreements that address those points up front rather than after a disagreement has already surfaced.

We advise on:

• Cross-border licensing agreements
• International contract manufacturing arrangements
• Joint ventures and strategic alliances
• Cross-border dispute resolution provisions
• Export and international trade compliance considerations
