Practice Areas

Overview

The Eren Law Firm is comprised of lawyers who possess unrivaled experience, knowledge, and respected reputations in economic sanctions and global trade law. This legal expertise comes paired with the knowledge and understanding of our clients’ businesses, as well as a mastery and keen appreciation of the laws and regulations that impact their operations.

We advise and represent clients with respect to, inter alia:

• Laws and Regulations Affecting International or Cross-Jurisdictional Commercial and Private Activities, Transactions, Assets, and Opportunities.

Conducting business internationally adds an additional layer of complexity, demanding the consideration of not only domestic law and law of other countries in which business is or may be conducted, but also of any current treaties, agreements, and restrictions on trade and finance by economic sanctions. If your organization currently operates internationally or has plans to expand beyond U.S. borders, it’s in your best interest to seek counsel from our legal team and benefit from our knowledge. We are committed to helping clients design, implement, and test export controls and sanctions compliance programs that effectively protect against trade and regulatory risks.

Disputes, Supervening Illegality

Contractual disputes between organizations or authorities in multiple countries may raise issues such as choice of law, interpretation of foreign law, conflict of law/jurisdiction and the enforcement of foreign judgments. However, a carefully constructed contract can play a critical role, reduce risks, and give your business distinct advantages. For example, parties can choose to include a clause indicating their choice of jurisdiction, i.e., where they would like any future dispute to be litigated.  To protect against sanctions risk or violations, sanctions exclusion clauses can be integrated into a contract.

Contracts and Relationships

Even if clients take feasible precautions while forming a contract, your organization may run into trouble after the fact. Contractual disputes can arise for a few different reasons—a difference in interpretation of a material term of the contract by the parties, a change in circumstances in one or both of the parties, a manifest breach of contract, or a change in the applicable law governing the contract due to the actions of a sovereign or multiple sovereigns.

Whatever contractual challenge you may be facing, rest assured that our experienced attorneys can guide you through difficult times by framing your arguments in a way that allows you to achieve your goals within the constraints of the law. Our practical, tailored advice may be just what you need to overcome obstacles and move forward.
