Deep experience, global reach.
At Husch Blackwell, we’re a full-service firm with global clients—and that means offering global support. We know that many of our clients operate around the world, sourcing supplies and selling products overseas, employing an international workforce, and doing business with partners the world over. While our own offices are spread throughout the United States, we also provide seamless service to clients with international needs. Our international service model combines the leadership and extensive experience of our U.S.-based attorneys with the knowledge of local attorneys at firms “on the ground” where needed.
To ensure clients get the right local help, on time and on budget, we maintain working relationships with attorneys around the world in two ways. First, our affiliation with global law firm Pinsent Masons allows us to serve clients’ interests throughout the United Kingdom and Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia, and Australia. Likewise, our partners at Gowling WLG provide expertise with respect to employment issues in Canada. At the same time, our membership in TerraLex, a select network of premier foreign law firms in more than 100 countries, ensures our clients have instant access to leading professionals around the world.
This isn’t a matter of outsourcing international needs: we partner with our clients every step of the way, offering our own knowledge and experience while drawing on local resources as well. We continue to oversee due diligence for clients’ international transactions, and we translate foreign legal issues into concepts clients can readily understand. Our team members are well-versed in the differing legal philosophies underpinning various legal systems.
In addition, we routinely serve as U.S.-based counsel to companies overseas. We advise clients on export compliance, the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), the Patriot Act, mergers and acquisitions, distribution agreements, U.S. employment law, and other matters.
Our international guidance to clients includes:
- Corporate and finance
- Commercial disputes and litigation
- Government and regulatory
- Labor and employment
- Mergers and acquisitions
- Real estate and environmental
- Tax
