International Services

Liyala & Associates actively support clients with international business relationships and foreign operations. In an increasingly connected world, many businesses look for opportunities to trade globally. This creates tremendous opportunities for growth, but also significant exposure to legal risks. Our firm is dedicated to finding practical, efficient means to achieve your global business goals, and our experience with foreign legal systems, as well as contacts with local counsel in major business centers around the world, enables us to service your needs in a responsive, cost-effective manner. We help clients manage the risks and maximize the opportunities associated with the increasing regulation of international trade in goods and services. Our practice extends globally and provides a range of services designed to match the scope of global trade regulation and to answer the needs of our clients wherever and whenever they arise. International Trade finance concerns the supply of financial instruments to facilitate international trade and commerce. It helps importers and exporters to transact business through trade. Our Trade finance consultants help reduce the risks from global trade by reconciling the needs of an exporter and importer. As a trade finance law firm, we advise on all aspects of trade finance, including documentary and standby letters of credit, export and pre-export facilities, guarantee issuance facilities, carriage of goods’ contracts and shipping terms, receivables’ financing, factoring and discounting arrangements. Key issues with trade finance include currency fluctuations, political instability, non-payment and creditworthiness.
