International trade lawyers provide legal services to prevent or resolve disputes that may arise in international trade, including helping clients with customs issues and representing them in arbitration. They also serve as consultants to prevent issues by providing information on trade restrictions and regulations.
An international trade lawyer helps in facilitating international trade by providing legal services that help in preventing or resolving disputes that may arise as a result of trade. International trade takes place between different territories, with different laws, procedures and customs. For this reason, disputes inevitably arise from one of the trading partners not fully complying with the regulatory, administrative or customary requirements of another country. One of the business partners may also behave unethically, such as not honoring agreements and trying to deceive another party. The international trade lawyer prevents the escalation of disputes that may arise, through means such as interpreting international trade laws for exporters and importers, representing their interests and representing them in an arbitration.
Another service provided by an international trade lawyer is helping clients resolve any misunderstandings with customs, which could lead to the seizure or seizure of their goods. Sometimes these disputes can be due to the lack of adequate documentary support for the goods or due to a failure to strictly comply with customs requirements regarding the import or export of certain types of goods. The international trade lawyer will be able to draw up the necessary documents or assist importers or exporters in paying fines associated with non-compliance with requirements.
Litigation is an expensive and time-consuming procedure, which is why most organizations prefer to resolve their disputes through arbitration. Arbitration is an informal means of resolving disputes between two or more parties. Both parties agree to be bound by the arbitrator’s decision, which means that any final judgment rendered by the arbitrator is final. When there is a dispute between exporters and importers from different countries, or if the dispute is between two territorial entities, an international trade lawyer can help represent his client’s interests during the arbitration process. This can be done by advising the client on the legalities of the arbitration process and the rights available to him or her, and trying to negotiate a good or favorable outcome for the client.
As a preventative measure, most major importers engage the services of an international trade lawyer as a consultant. The lawyer will serve as a liaison between the importer and government agencies located in the foreign trade country. He or she can also provide information on import duties, import and export quotas, contraband items and trade restrictions in place in the potential trading country.
