The firm's practice has two parts. The core covers the work the firm handles for most clients, in most engagements. The specialized capabilities cover work the firm accepts selectively, where the engagement requires it and the firm is the right firm to do it. What follows describes each, and a representative sample of the clients the team has served.
Clients
The team's services have been used by clients across U.S. corporate, international institutional, and U.S. government sectors. A representative sample appears below.
Core Practice
Market Entry
When a firm decides to begin work in the region, the firm conducts a plain assessment of the proposed partner, the proposed structure, and the regulatory environment around both. The output is a written brief on what is workable, what is not, and what would have to change. The work runs from first conversation to the point of agreement.
Partnerships and Operations
When an existing partnership runs into difficulty, the firm sits with both sides and finds the structure that allows the work to continue. When that structure does not exist, the firm says so. The work covers ongoing operational support, board-level disputes, and the daily translation between American and regional commercial logic.
Ongoing Representation
For firms that maintain regional operations and need a senior local presence without retaining a full country team, the firm carries day-to-day responsibility for client interests in the region. This includes representation at meetings, presence at official engagements, monitoring of relevant developments, and direct escalation of anything material.
Crisis and Recovery
When a project or partnership has failed and the loss must be contained or recovered, the firm assesses what can be saved, what is lost, and what path forward exists. The work often involves coordination with counsel, with regional authorities, and with the original partners. The objective is to land the situation in a place the client can live with.
Counsel Support
American law firms representing clients with regional exposure often need access to local witnesses, documents, evidence, and the senior individuals who can speak credibly to a court or regulator. The firm provides this access under the direction of counsel, with the discretion the work requires.
Specialized Capabilities
Capture Strategy
For U.S. firms pursuing federal contracting opportunities with regional execution requirements, the firm develops the capture strategy, identifies the partner architecture, and structures the past performance and credentials presentation. The work covers sources-sought response through proposal submission.
Principal Representation
When a chief executive or family principal needs to engage with senior regional figures and does not have the time, language, or cultural fluency to do so directly, the firm represents them at the level required. This includes setting up the engagement, attending in person, and translating the substance back into terms the principal can act on.
Sovereign and Institutional Mandates
For governments, sovereign wealth funds, and major institutions seeking a U.S.-based firm with regional fluency, the firm accepts mandates requiring both political and commercial judgment. The work is structured around a specific decision the institution needs to make, with a defined output and a defined timeline.
Education and Briefing Programs
For corporate boards, senior executive teams, and government delegations preparing for regional engagement, the firm designs and delivers briefing programs covering the political, regulatory, commercial, and cultural ground. The work is custom to each client and delivered in person at the client's chosen location.
Asset and Counterparty Investigations
When a client needs to understand whether a regional asset, counterparty, or partner is what it appears to be, the firm conducts a discreet investigation drawing on the team's regional network, document access, and direct observation. The output is a written assessment of what the asset is, who controls it, and what the client should know.
