In this context, the involvement of an international business law attorney is decisive to structure transactions, secure contracts and reduce areas of uncertainty. MOSAIK assists French and foreign companies with their international projects, combining a global legal perspective with a fine-grained understanding of local practice.
International business law: a multidimensional framework
International business law brings together all the rules applicable to economic transactions involving more than one State. It draws on rules from many fields: contract law, corporate law, international tax law, customs law, competition law, employment law and intellectual property law. The attorney's task is to coordinate these rules consistently so that the company can operate within a clear and legally secure framework.
Strategic advice and structuring of international projects
Legal structuring of foreign operations
When a company sets up abroad, many questions arise: local corporate form, governance, the relationship between the parent company and the subsidiary, organisation of intra-group financial flows, asset protection. MOSAIK assists with the legal structuring of the group, ensuring consistency between entities and compliance with local obligations.
Drafting and negotiating international contracts
International contracts are the foundation of cross-border business relationships. Drafting them requires particular attention to the choice of governing law, the language of the contract, payment terms, allocation of liability, dispute resolution clauses and security mechanisms. MOSAIK drafts and negotiates contracts tailored to the international context of the project, contracts that are intelligible and enforceable in the various jurisdictions concerned.
Partnerships and strategic alliances
International partnerships open access to new markets by relying on local players. These collaborations must be framed with precision to define each party's role, the allocation of risks and the exit arrangements. MOSAIK formalises these alliances and anticipates situations of disagreement or termination.
Growth and investment transactions
Cross-border mergers, acquisitions and disposals
External growth transactions involving several countries require coordinating regulations that can differ widely, while managing the tax, employment and intellectual property issues of each jurisdiction. MOSAIK leads or coordinates these transactions together with local counsel, ensuring an overall view and consistent execution.
Foreign direct investment
MOSAIK assists companies with their investments abroad: analysis of local investment regimes, structuring of investment vehicles, review of sector restrictions and prior approval requirements, and implementation of the contractual and treaty protections available.
Preventing and managing international disputes
International disputes can quickly become more complex than domestic ones: multiple competent courts, difficulties enforcing judgments abroad, language and cultural barriers. MOSAIK assists its clients in preventing such conflicts and, where necessary, in conducting litigation or arbitration proceedings.

Frequently asked questions
Why engage an international business law attorney?
Cross-border transactions involve several legal frameworks that may overlap or contradict one another. Without specialised guidance, the risk of error in structuring the transaction, drafting the contracts or handling disputes is significant.
Does the firm only act for large corporations?
No. MOSAIK advises SMEs and startups on their international growth projects just as much as large groups. The complexity of the issues does not depend on the size of the company but on the nature of the transactions contemplated.
When should you consult an international business law attorney?
Ideally at the planning stage, before any international commitment is made. Early involvement makes it possible to optimise the structure of the project and avoid mistakes that are costly to fix later.
Does MOSAIK work in several languages?
Yes. Our lawyers work in French, English, Spanish, Mandarin and Cantonese, which makes dealings with partners and institutions in the various jurisdictions where we operate considerably easier.
