Advisory and Contractual Assistance for Cross-Border Transactions
In international trade, form is substance. An ambiguous clause, a regulation overlooked, or a jurisdiction chosen lightly can jeopardize an entire operation. This is why, when conducting business across borders, legal guidance is essential—guidance that understands both the law and the operational logic of international business.
Capece Minutolo Law Firm provides targeted legal assistance to companies operating in global markets, focusing on the drafting, review, and negotiation of international commercial contracts (including contracts in English) and the management of cross-border disputes.
The Firm supports businesses and entrepreneurs throughout every stage of a transaction, from initial negotiations to the resolution of disputes, including arbitration. Particular care is given to the choice of applicable law, jurisdiction, dispute resolution clauses, proper use of Incoterms, payment terms, and guarantees. Every international contract, before being an economic exchange, is an act of trust that deserves solid legal protection.
Many Italian companies are increasingly expanding into foreign markets. The Firm’s goal is to provide them with clear, strategic, and practical support, helping to prevent disputes and safeguard their interests in cases of non-performance, insolvency, or conflicts with foreign partners. At the same time, the Firm assists foreign companies operating in Italy or dealing with Italian counterparts, guiding them in understanding Italian law and managing contractual, fiscal, and litigation matters within the national jurisdiction.
Areas of Legal Assistance
The Firm advises on international sales contracts, commercial agency, distribution, franchising, joint ventures, supply agreements, and technical consultancy contracts. Assistance also includes customs documentation, secured payment mechanisms (letters of credit, stand-by LCs, international guarantees), and dispute resolution through international commercial arbitration, under the main institutional rules (ICC, UNCITRAL, CAM, LCIA).
