Today, we do business in a rapidly accelerating global marketplace - ripe with opportunities, but fraught with complexity and challenge. We understand that it is no longer enough to know and deal with America's local, state, and federal governments. International success requires international lawyers, skilled counselors who speak the languages, understand the cultures, and know the laws in those parts of the world in which their clients do business. Carlton Fields' International Trade and Transactions Practice provides a wide range of client services to help domestic and foreign companies develop or expand their global operations. The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) has forged the United States, Canada, and Mexico into an interdependent economic alliance with great promise. The negotiations for the Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA) promise to bond the nations of the Americas and the Caribbean into the most powerful economic force in the world. With lawyers fluent in Spanish, our Latin American practice group represents U.S. and foreign clients in Canada, Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean, and South America. We represent American clients forming corporations, establishing subsidiaries, and participating in joint ventures abroad. We assist foreign companies in establishing a presence in the United States. Moreover, we support foreign and domestic clients in international business matters including sales, construction, manufacturing, development, and financing. When necessary to protect and advance their interests, we also represent clients in international litigation and disputes.
