Legal Support of Foreign Economic Activity, FEA

The company’s entry into the international market always faces difficulties. Legal conflicts in the laws of the countries, differences in business specifications and customs control procedure — only a qualified lawyer engaged in international relations may understand them.

Foreign economic activity can be treated in a broad and narrow sense. In the first case, FEA means international relations in the country’s economic development, while in the second case it means entry into global markets upon export and import of goods owned by individual business entities. Broadening horizons of business development and promotion entails both risks and attractive prospects for the entrepreneur. It is difficult to master global markets independently, without proper preparation and specific skills in foreign economic activity.
