Access to foreign markets is crucial to companies competing in today's
global economy. Kelley Drye helps clients create and expand business
opportunities abroad. We have worked with businesses and trade
associations to maximize the opportunities afforded by free trade and
other preferential agreements. Where those opportunities do not yet
exist, we directly engage foreign officials and business leaders in
order to create openings in targeted markets.
We have counseled clients from a wide range of industries on market access matters, including professional services, financial services, agriculture, telecommunications, metals and automotive firms. While our experience encompasses a variety of foreign markets, we are especially well-versed in the dynamics of the Chinese and other East Asian economies. Our professionals have long-standing relationships with many senior trade officials in the region and we regularly leverage those contacts on behalf of our clients.
