International Law

Practical Advice for Clients Operating Across Borders

Beyond specific dispute types, many of our clients need broader advice on how international law affects their business or personal affairs: which country’s law governs a contract, how international trade rules and sanctions regimes apply, and how rights and obligations translate across different legal systems.

Applerose Solicitors’ International Law practice provides this wider strategic advice, drawing on our team’s qualifications in international dispute resolution, commercial and corporate law, tax law, and international shipping law to give clients a genuinely rounded international perspective.

Areas We Advise On

Cross-Border Transactions and Conflict of Laws

Where the parties have expressly chosen English law to govern their agreement, English law will generally apply. If no governing law has been selected, the applicable law will be determined in accordance with the relevant conflict of laws rules and the specific facts of the case. We provide expert advice on which jurisdiction’s law is likely to apply and the legal implications for your contractual or commercial dispute.

Navigating Sanctions and Trade Regulation

International trade is increasingly shaped by regulation: export controls, trade sanctions, customs requirements, and anti-money laundering obligations can all affect how a cross-border transaction may lawfully proceed. We advise clients on regulatory compliance in cross-border trade and on the implications of sanctions regimes for existing and proposed transactions.

Where a matter touches on treaty-based protections, for example, investment protections available to foreign investors under bilateral or multilateral treaties, we advise on the availability and practical value of those protections in the context of a client’s wider commercial strategy.
