We help owners and investors establish a commercial presence in a new country through a local business, partnership or contractual route to market. We also address the transition to different ownership and operating models as the business develops and matures. Our work connects these choices with operating requirements and the client's wider commercial objectives.

We help owners, strategic investors and international financial investors structure investments with local and foreign partners. Our work connects ownership, funding and governance with investment approvals, government commitments and available protections, coordinated with tax and local-law advice.

Investor eligibility, foreign ownership limits and participation requirements influence how an investment can be held and managed. We address investment vehicles, holding structures, approvals and governance, including the differing roles of strategic partners, financial investors and local shareholders.
Government + Investment Rights
Host-government agreements and public undertakings sit alongside protections that may be available under bilateral investment treaties and other investment agreements. We consider eligibility and scope, together with political risk insurance and guarantees, in relation to government performance, expropriation and restrictions on currency conversion or transfer.
