Established California Firm Handles International Law Cases for Clients

Skilled attorney in the Los Angeles area assists businesses in global matters

At Merritt McKeon, Esq., based in the Los Angeles area, I have a long history of helping foreign and domestic businesses with transactional and litigation work in the United States and abroad. Some of my firm’s clients are global businesses that face litigation in the United States. Others are domestic companies in need of legal guidance to secure an international contract or settle a dispute. Regardless of your firm's requirements, I am well-positioned to help you complete transactions in another country. With an extensive network of business and legal contacts around the world, I have the resources to help your business achieve its goals. 

Knowledgeable advocate helps clients resolve legal issues here and abroad

In my international law practice, I represent businesses and individuals in partnership matters, business litigation, estate planning, probate and probate litigation. In each case, I strive for prompt resolutions through negotiation, settlement, arbitration or mediation when possible but I am always ready to litigate in court when it is in my client's best interests.

If your company seeks to execute an international business transaction or has encountered problems in an international commercial matter, you need a lawyer who has the requisite and specific knowledge to help you resolve your legal issue. In addition to the potential language barrier, the laws of a foreign country can provide significantly different protections for business transactions than your own country's laws do. Perhaps most importantly, you want matters resolved in a professional way, so as to avoid damaging your access to foreign markets in the future. My firm has the global reach and resources to represent you professionally and effectively. 

Proven attorney provides effective counsel for companies in the global market

Among the international legal services I provide to clients here and abroad are these:

• Advising international attorneys on U.S. law
• Advising clients on matters related to sovereign governments
• Counsel for international commerce and estate matters
• Foreign investment services
• Foreign contract disputes
• International business litigation in which one or more parties are not from the United States
• International business arbitration (serving as counsel or as an arbitrator)
• U.S. discovery for litigation in foreign countries

In addition to my international business law practice, I also help individuals who face international issues in estate planning and probate litigation. I draw on extensive experience navigating the legal systems of other countries to provide you with the advice and advocacy you need in often complex cases.
