Navigating an unfamiliar legal, regulatory, and commercial landscape is one of the most daunting aspects of cross-border expansion. That’s where we come in. At Michelman Robinson, we help global investors and companies enter the U.S. market—and U.S. entities expand abroad—with business-minded legal support.

We advise on the full spectrum of foreign direct investment activity, including greenfield projects, joint ventures, acquisitions, licensing arrangements, and other forms of market entry. Our work spans industries and continents, guided by deep knowledge of jurisdictional nuance, transactional complexity, and commercial risk.

Clients count on us not only to structure deals, but also to anticipate roadblocks, from regulatory approvals and entity formation to cross-border disputes. In this space, legal issues often mirror those encountered in launching a new business, and we tailor our counsel accordingly: agile, multidisciplinary, and attuned to operational realities.

Our team operates as an extension of our clients, delivering seamless service across transactional, regulatory, and litigation matters. With experience that spans borders and legal systems, we provide the direction and momentum required to execute high-stakes investments, whether it’s a first entry into a foreign market or a strategic move in a complex global portfolio.
