International regulatory risk management and strategic legal support
Legal support for international companies, investors and boards of directors on issues of sanctions regulation, export control, foreign investment, corporate compliance and strategic decisions
— About practice
Regulatory risk management is a key element of international strategy
Modern international business is developing in an environment of constant changes in legislation, sanctions regimes, export controls, requirements for foreign investment, corporate governance and international trade.
Regulatory risks impact M&A, international investment, corporate structures, banking, supply chains, technology, financing and long-term business value.
Legal support should be part of the company's strategy, and not a reaction to problems that have arisen.
Erich Rath advises international companies, boards of directors, investment funds, family offices and business owners, helping them make strategic decisions in a complex international regulatory environment.
