How the engagement works
We review the proposed transaction, the countries involved, the parties’ roles and the intended movement of goods and money. We then agree whether the engagement involves a preliminary legal review, contract drafting, negotiation or dispute advice.
Initial enquiry
Please identify the goods or services involved, the relevant countries, your role in the transaction and any approaching payment or delivery deadline. Detailed documents may be provided after the initial checks and engagement arrangements.
