European Markets

Kirton McConkie’s European Markets practice takes advantage of the firm's significant international legal capabilities to assist European companies wishing to invest in, start, or expand a business in the U.S. and U.S.-based clients that wish to do the same in Europe. The advantage for both European and U.S. clients is the range of high-value legal services our international trade lawyers offer in areas, including:

• Foreign direct investment
• Mergers and acquisitions
• Joint ventures
• Development, collaborative, distribution, agency, manufacturing, licensing, and employment agreements
• International expansion strategies and transactions
• Corporate compliance
• Data privacy and protection
• Securities
• Transactional, administrative, arbitration, and litigation

As outside general counsel working from the U.S., companies benefit from our competitive rates and ability to streamline legal processes in the U.S. and Europe. Through a multi-faceted approach, which includes intellectual property, tax, corporate, immigration, and employment, our international attorneys develop integrated legal solutions that uncover key issues and provide a thorough risk analysis. Our international attorneys also advise clients on the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) and foreign anticorruption regulations.

We work closely with clients in the technology, software, biotech, medical device, simulation and training, engineering, mining, energy, real estate, manufacturing, and direct sales/multi-level marketing industries.
