Commercial & Trade
Commercial disputes in the GCC region are extremely difficult to circumnavigate due to the immense level of corporate scrutiny, varying regulatory requirements, and the often complex structure of commercial transactions themselves.
With more than 25 years of experience in the GCC, at SCHLÜTER GRAF we have developed skills to advise clients on complex restructuring and re-organization of their businesses. Our professional and dynamic team drafts, assesses, and reviews the commercial transactions for our client in minute detail, ensuring that even in the case of a dispute, our client’s interests are safeguarded.
International trade drives a major chunk of the global economy. Ever evolving trade policies in the GCC region affect companies involved in the global trade of goods and services. Whether governments are negotiating multilateral, regional, or bilateral trade agreements, or revising national laws and regulations, the result is the same; a change of rules and procedures for the companies carrying out the trade.
Our team at SCHLÜTER GRAF stay abreast with the changes and ensures that our clients stay compliant with the increasing regulation of international trade in goods and services by managing the risks and maximizing the opportunities associated with the new regulations.
