Commercial

Achieving business success in highly regulated markets requires effective management of commercial risks and relationships with your suppliers and customers. Whether you are an international or domestic business active in Latin America, you can rely on our advice on complex, multi-jurisdictional contractual arrangements and our knowledge of the commercial issues facing the sectors in which you operate.

Sector-specific contractual arrangements are key to this. Whether you require advice on commercial contracts, supply services, e-commerce, IT or telecom agreements, data protection, design or manufacturing, advertising, sponsorship or marketing, consumer sales, software licensing, outsourcing or sales, agency, distribution or franchise agreements, not only do you need the right legal answer, but you also need it in the context of the market in which you operate.

We organise our teams around sectors and industries relevant to you, including financial services, manufacturing, consumer products, energy, hotels and leisure, infrastructure and projects, supply and logistics, real estate and construction, technology, telecom and media. Our services also ensure that you are fully up to speed on all legal and regulatory developments.
