International Company Law

International company law is an autonomous field of law, notably it is a cross-section of private law as well as public law and is characterized by its focus on the economy. In an interdependent, globalized economy, investments and various transactions of goods, services or resources by companies as an instrument of entrepreneurship are often done across national borders.

In this context, international company law can be looked at as the various laws, regulations and legal practices that govern numerous issues related to a company in cross-border situations and cross-border business transactions with legal entities, private individuals or even a state.

Thus, international company law may involve advising companies or multinational corporate groups on legal aspects with regard to countries to which they export goods, in which they provide services, in which they make either foreign investments or they enter into joint ventures. By acting on a multinational level companies can be subject to issues related to private and public international law, international insolvency proceedings and corporate social responsibility. Cross-border mobility of companies exposes them to the risk of nationalization or the need to secure their investments or interests with an insurance. Furthermore, cross-border transactions show the importance of unification of commercial law for the international trade by companies.
