Moses Singer’s International practice addresses the needs of both U.S. and non-U.S. clients doing business internationally.  Our attorneys provide full cross-border services based on vast experience working with clients ranging from individuals and small business owners to multinational corporations operating in a variety of industries across the globe.  Our attorneys are fluent in a number of foreign languages, including Italian, Japanese, Spanish, French, Dutch, Korean, and Chinese.  Some of our attorneys even hold dual law degrees issued by law schools in foreign countries as well as US law schools.  Often, our attorneys liaison with foreign lawyers to service their clients.

• Banking & Finance.  We regularly represent lenders, borrowers, trustees, agents, issuing banks, confirming banks and other nominated banks, beneficiaries, participants, secured parties, purchasers of negotiable drafts, bills of exchange, and promissory notes, depositary banks, securities intermediaries, and other parties in a wide range of cross-border transactions.  We frequently address the complex requirements for multi-jurisdictional collateralization and credit support, as well as crafting a workable dispute resolution process and enforcement mechanism.
• Bankruptcy & Creditor’s Rights.  The firm frequently represents clients located outside the US in various capacities in Chapter 11 proceedings in the US and in Chapter 15 proceedings in the US (where there is also a foreign Insolvency proceeding pending outside the US).  The firm also together with local counsel represents clients in Insolvency and Bankruptcy proceedings throughout most of Europe, South America and numerous other countries and has relationships with counsel throughout the world.
• Trusts & Estates.  Moses Singer has long represented many wealthy foreign families whose world-wide holdings invariably include assets in the United States, including perhaps most commonly a second (personal) residence, requiring United States tax planning for tax efficiency; in addition, such families often have children or grandchildren who have (or will someday) become “United States persons” for which the special expertise of our “international” Trusts & Estates attorneys is required. 
• Real Estate Transactions.  We represent foreign companies, funds, and individuals in their respective acquisitions, dispositions, and development of real estate properties, as well as in their commercial leasing, throughout the U.S.
• Corporate Organizations, Finance and Transactions.  Moses Singer represents US entities in offshore international transactions and non-US persons in a range of matters domestically. We organize U.S. business entities on behalf of foreign clients, and advise on capital structure and financing matters.  We also handle complex cross-border transactions which involve several jurisdictions, as well as the U.S. On transactional matters, we represent on both inbound and outbound matters.  We also handle US securities law matters relating to international transactions and disclosure matters (Reg S and Rule 144A transactions, as well as ADR matters).
• Tax Matters.  We assist our international clients with tax matters involving the U.S. as well as foreign jurisdictions.
• Litigation.  We often handle U.S. litigation where a parallel litigation is pending overseas.  We provide assistance in connection with the enforcement of foreign judgments in the U.S. and when foreign counsel seek to enforce U.S. judgments in foreign countries.  We also assist clients who are parties to litigation in foreign countries in obtaining documents through the U.S. courts to be used in the foreign country litigation and we routinely represent foreign-based clients in US proceedings.
• Arbitration.  We handle arbitrations in the U.S. as well as overseas.
• Intellectual Property. We advise a wide range of US clients in the clearance, procurement, registration and enforcement of their intellectual property rights worldwide, specifically in the management of global trademark portfolios of all sizes.  We routinely supervise attorneys in other countries in trademark proceedings in foreign courts and administrative agencies, providing strategic guidance with respect to multi-jurisdictional conflicts.  We also assist non-US clients with trademark clearance, prosecution and registration in the United States and advise non-US law firms on management of their clients’ US portfolios.

The firm is a member of the International Bar Association, the Japanese Chamber of Commerce and Industry of New York, Inc., and the International Trademark Association (INTA), and our attorneys are active on INTA committees.
