Barley Snyder is expanding its global capabilities with its International Business & Trade Group.

A newly structured subgroup within its Business Practice Group, the International Business & Trade Group will expand the law firm’s international business and trade capabilities.

“Businesses today are navigating an increasingly complex global environment, with evolving regulations, supply chain challenges and cross-border risks,” Partner and Business Practice Group Chair Daniel Desmond said in a statement. “By aligning our international capabilities in a more structured way, we are building on the strength of our existing experience and providing clients with a more integrated, forward-looking approach to their international operations.”

Barley Snyder advises clients on a broad range of cross-border business and trade issues. According to a release, this step reflects the firm’s response to growing client demand and an increasingly complex global marketplace, aligning its international practitioners to enhance client service and collaboration.

The International Business & Trade Group brings together attorneys from across practice areas with experience advising clients on the legal and regulatory issues that arise when businesses operate across borders. The group advises clients ranging from manufacturers and distributors to logistics providers and professional service firms that depend on global markets to remain competitive, per the release.

The group offers a wide range of services, including:

• Cross-border business formations and corporate structuring
• International contract drafting and negotiation
• Customs, tariffs and trade compliance
• Export controls, economic sanctions and CFIUS matters
• Global market entry strategies and cross-border transactions
• Immigration support for employers and individuals
• International intellectual property protection and strategy

“As global markets continue to evolve, our clients need counsel that not only understands the legal landscape, but also the business realities of operating across borders,” said attorney and International Business & Trade Group Chair Abby Tucker. “We’ve long supported clients in navigating these challenges, and this group builds on that experience by bringing our multidisciplinary team together to deliver strategic, business-focused solutions at every stage of their international growth.”

In connection with this newly structured subgroup, Barley Snyder has rebranded its Transportation, Logistics & Trade Industry Group as the Transportation & Logistics Industry Group.

The International Business & Trade Group works with trusted foreign counsel around the world, ensuring clients have access to reliable, jurisdiction-specific guidance across the markets in which they do business.
