International Trade

Womble Carlyle Delegation Visits China

Womble Carlyle's commitment to zealous representation of its clients has been the driving force behind the development of its International Practice. Womble Carlyle’s International Practice is a natural consequence of the dramatic growth and success of our clients and the Southeastern Region of the United States. Companies from around the world are locating and doing business in the region. Many states within Womble Carlyle’s footprint, including Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Maryland and Virginia, have aggressively and successfully targeted the economic development of their region through the attraction of substantial foreign business and trade, and our Firm actively parallels and supports these efforts. Companies from around the world seek a presence in the Southeast to capitalize on the region's transportation assets, its universities, its educated workforce, its connections with major technology companies and government contractors, and its proximity to an enormous potential customer, the United States Federal Government. As Womble Carlyle’s domestic clients extend their reach globally, and as foreign clients increasingly do business in the Southeastern United States, often locating the base of their United States or international operations for the Americas in the region, Womble Carlyle is well-positioned to offer valuable experience. We share the benefits of our experience in international contracting, multi-jurisdictional strategies for the enforceability of agreements and the protection of intellectual property, as well as with respect to foreign legal systems, cultures, customs and practices.

The substantial resources of Womble Carlyle in this area include years of international practice experience, lawyers skilled in many foreign languages, committed to an understanding of our clients’ business, and fully aware of the domestic and foreign risks inherent in cross-border transactions.
