Canadian tech manufacturer acquiring German robotics firm - yeah, this one kept us up at night for months.

Trade Case
Trade Logistics
Asia-Pacific Distribution Network

Setting up trade agreements across 8 countries isn't exactly a walk in the park.

Client needed consistent trade terms across multiple jurisdictions with wildly different regulations. Each country had its own import/export quirks and tariff structures.

Created a master framework agreement that adapted to local requirements. Worked with customs brokers in each country to streamline documentation. Built in dispute resolution mechanisms that actually work.

Distribution costs dropped 23%. Customs clearance time cut by 40%. Zero compliance issues in two years of operation.
IP Case
IP Tech
Software Patent Portfolio Defense

Protecting proprietary algorithms from overseas competitors who weren't playing fair.

Startup's core tech was being copied by larger competitors in markets where enforcement is... let's say complicated. They were burning through cash fighting individual battles.

Developed a global IP strategy with filings in 15 jurisdictions. Used trade secret law where patents weren't practical. Negotiated licensing deals that turned infringers into revenue streams.

Secured patents in key markets. Generated $2.1M in licensing revenue. Client got acquired 18 months later - IP portfolio was a major value driver.
Compliance Case
Compliance Finance
Multi-Jurisdiction Regulatory Audit

Financial services firm facing scrutiny in Canada, US, and UK simultaneously.

Three different regulators asking similar but not identical questions. Inconsistent internal documentation. Tight deadlines. Potential fines in the millions.

Coordinated responses across all three jurisdictions. Rebuilt their compliance framework from scratch. Trained staff on proper documentation. Negotiated with regulators to stagger review timelines.

Passed all audits with minor findings only. No fines. New compliance system now industry-leading. They've referred three other firms to us since.
Litigation Case
Litigation Manufacturing
International Supply Chain Dispute

$18M breach of contract claim spanning three countries and two arbitration forums.

Supplier failed to deliver critical components, causing production delays. Contract had competing jurisdiction clauses. Counter-party filed in a forum favorable to them first.

Fought jurisdiction battle and won. Gathered evidence from facilities in four countries. Used expert testimony to prove causation. Pushed for settlement when we had leverage.

Settled for $14.2M before final hearing. Preserved business relationship for future dealings. Case resolved in 11 months vs. estimated 3 years.
Contract Case
Contracts Energy
Joint Venture Framework

Renewable energy project with partners from four continents - complex doesn't cover it.

Multiple parties with different legal systems, expectations, and risk tolerances. Project valued at $500M+ over 15 years. Needed flexible structure that protected everyone.

Created modular agreement structure with clear decision-making protocols. Built in exit mechanisms for each partner. Addressed currency, tax, and IP issues upfront. Facilitated months of negotiation sessions.

JV launched successfully. Project on track and under budget. Framework's been used as template for two subsequent projects. No disputes in 3+ years of operation.

Trade Case

Penalties reduced by 60% due to cooperation. Export license reinstated. Company's now operating with industry-leading compliance. They've become a case study in regulatory redemption.
