International Trade

For businesses in New Hampshire focusing on the future, the importance of reaching foreign markets will be critically important. The new global economic and political order which continues to evolve has the potential for creating an ever-expanding international consumer base anxious for American goods, services, and knowledge. New Hampshire businesses and industries must focus their attention and energy on the tremendous potential this international marketplace presents.

Since 1919, The McLane Law Firm has been serving the corporate and business needs of clients ranging from local closely-held corporations and partnerships to regional, national, and multinational corporations.

We have assisted domestic and foreign business clients with:

• Contractual relationships;
• Financing and credit arrangements;
• The purchase and sale of goods, products, and services;
• The selection and formation of the legal entity in which to conduct business; and
• Export and import issues, such as:
  • the shipment and delivery of goods to North America, the European Community, South America and Pacific Rim nations;
  • state and federal tax analysis; and
  • immigration and visa matters.

We also offer a wide range of specialized legal services such as tax planning for international transactions and the protection or the transfer of intellectual property interests in U.S. and foreign markets. We help domestic businesses venturing into the international marketplace to seek out effective business, contractual, and strategic partnerships.

For our international clients who require U.S. or foreign visas for executives and employees working in the U.S. or abroad, we can facilitate their dealings with the Department of Immigration & Naturalization Services and also advise individuals of the state and federal tax issues which face them as they prepare to relocate.
