The internationalization of manufacturing and food & beverage companies requires strict compliance with binding customs regulations, local health and safety standards, and intellectual property protections specific to each country of destination.

Areas of Commercial Intervention

1. Commercial Contracting and International Sales Networks

• Distribution and Agency Contracts: Preparation of international distribution, exclusive or non-exclusive sales concession, and commercial agency agreements compliant with the laws of the target market.
• Supply and Joint Venture Agreements: Structuring global supply contracts, industrial subcontracting, and strategic corporate agreements for commercial setup in complex jurisdictions.
• Risk Apportionment (Incoterms): Contractual definition of delivery points and ownership transfers through the exact application of ICC Incoterms.

2. Food Law and Agro-Industrial Customs Compliance

• Labeling and Food Safety: Advisory on mandatory packaging requirements, allergens, nutritional tables, and compliance with local standards (e.g., FDA regulations for the US, GACC regulations for China).
• Certifications and Non-Tariff Barriers: Assistance with facility registration procedures and documentary management to overcome customs holdups tied to sanitary or phytosanitary profiles.
• Supply Chain Compliance: Analysis of regulatory risks connected to traceability, Product Recall procedures, and Food Defense protocols.

3. Industrial Asset Protection and Debt Collection

• Foreign Trademark and Patent Protection: Strategies for registering and protecting commercial trademarks, patents, and industrial designs in export markets to prevent counterfeiting and trademark squatting.
• Cross-Border Debt Collection: Legal actions to recover commercial outstanding balances from foreign counterparts through international payment order procedures (e.g., European Order for Payment) or the initiation of foreign litigation coordinated with local partners.
