Area of Practice
FBFK’s International Transactions & Dispute Resolution practice brings together transactional, dispute, and regulatory capabilities to support clients operating across borders. We act as a single, coordinated team on matters that span jurisdictions, legal systems, and business environments.
Our Collaboration with Ethikos
Through our collaboration with Ethikos, we extend that capability across key European markets, allowing clients to move seamlessly between U.S. and EU legal frameworks with clarity and confidence.
Together, we work as an integrated team to:
Navigate cross-border investigations and regulatory inquiries
Align compliance strategies across U.S. and EU regimes, including AML and sanctions
Structure and execute international transactions with jurisdiction-specific insight
Provide consistent legal guidance across multiple jurisdictions
We advise globally mobile clients on structuring wealth across jurisdictions, balancing tax efficiency, compliance, and long-term family objectives.
We help clients navigate global tax complexity with clarity, structuring cross-border operations and investments to reduce exposure and ensure compliance across jurisdictions.
In an increasingly complex regulatory environment, compliance and investigations require a proactive and structured approach. We help clients design and implement compliance frameworks that are both effective and practical, while preparing them to respond quickly and confidently when issues arise.
Our team conducts internal investigations, manages regulatory inquiries, and advises on risk mitigation strategies with a focus on consistency, defensibility, and business continuity across jurisdictions.
We represent financial institutions, multinational companies, fintech platforms, and other regulated entities navigating complex compliance obligations, cross-border investigations, and enforcement actions.
International disputes require more than strong advocacy. They demand coordination across legal systems, cultures, and enforcement frameworks. We approach each matter with a clear strategy from the outset, aligning litigation, arbitration, and enforcement efforts across jurisdictions to maintain consistency and control.
Our team focuses on simplifying complexity, bringing structure to multi-forum disputes, anticipating procedural challenges, and positioning matters for efficient and effective resolution. Whether in court, commercial or investment arbitration, or pre-dispute planning, we prioritize outcomes that protect our clients’ broader business interests.
We represent public and private companies, financial institutions, international investors, sovereign entities, family enterprises, and other organizations involved in cross-border disputes, including complex commercial conflicts, investment treaty disputes, regulatory enforcement actions, and multi-jurisdictional litigation.
Cross-border transactions require careful alignment of legal, regulatory, and business considerations across jurisdictions. We work closely with clients to structure deals that are both efficient and resilient, anticipating issues early and navigating local requirements with precision.
Our approach is practical and business-focused. We integrate corporate, tax, and regulatory perspectives to guide transactions from initial structuring through execution, ensuring that each deal is positioned for long-term success across markets.
We advise companies, private equity sponsors, investors, and founders engaged in cross-border mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures, financings, and strategic commercial arrangements across multiple jurisdictions.
