Menu International Globalization has complicated how you do business in ways unimagined just a few short years before. Despite international treaties and agreements, each jurisdiction has its own laws and regulations. U.S.-based and multinational corporations call on the team at Alston & Bird to provide seamless counsel in conjunction with a network of accomplished independent law firms worldwide. Today’s business seeks a borderless world. Yet as much as globalization has reduced barriers to commerce, borders and their obstacles to business remain.

Our International Practice Group is a multidisciplinary team of attorneys experienced in providing sound, practical legal advice to companies on their investments and operations globally. We advise our global clients on issues they face—ranging from corporate M&A to immigration, IP protection and clearance to products liability, international tax to international trade—providing real-world, practical solutions geared toward ensuring successful operations in the Americas, Europe, Middle East, Asia-Pacific region, and Africa.
