In the global economy, business crosses borders. A thriving economy, educated workforce, world leadership in telecommunications and excellent standard of living make Canada a prime partner for cross-border business ventures. Whether you want to start up a new business in Canada, expand your existing business into Canada, or expand your Canadian business into the U.S. or overseas, you need a law firm that can help you cross borders. Fraser Milner Casgrain LLP’s in-depth understanding of legislative and regulatory issues enables us to help you navigate the challenges of cross-border business.
FMC’s approach to cross-border initiatives includes a presence in key areas within the U.S. This includes New York, where we have an office, Washington DC, Houston, Chicago and California. We match our clients’ needs with the relevant legal expertise in any one of our six Canadian offices. With leading international practices in competition law, international trade, tax, energy, mining, financial services, entertainment and public policy, FMC can open doors as well as help our clients cross borders.
Internationally, FMC sustains long-term global relationships through its affiliation with the Pacific Rim Advisory Counsel (PRAC), focused on Asia and the Far East, and the Interlex Group, focused on Europe.
