GLOBAL PRACTICE AREAS
In a constantly evolving business world, our lawyers are not only familiar with the latest
developments in the law where our clients conduct business, but are also able to work
cohesively with our clients to allow their businesses to operate and grow in the most
efficient and flexible manner possible.
If you are expanding your operations to the U.S. or other countries, or if your business operates in multiple jurisdictions, our lawyers are available to assist your multi-jurisdictional business operations, growth and financing needs. Our lawyers provide clients with a high-quality,
seamless and cost-effective way to deal with the range of legal issues that arise when conducting business in the United States, abroad or both.
Our clients’ success is our first priority. When clients require specific expertise on a project
or transaction involving a domestic or foreign jurisdiction, we have lawyers with extensive
knowledge and experience tailored to that client and project or transaction. You can be confident that our lawyers will provide you consistent, reliable and excellent legal services.
A GLOBAL NETWORK
As a result of its global representation of clients, Shumaker has developed relationships
with many foreign professionals (accountants, lawyers, investment bankers, regulatory experts and others) whom we utilize to assist our clients with matters requiring “on
the ground” expertise in a diverse range of cross-border matters. This network provides
our clients access to lawyers and other professionals who have the knowledge of and
experience with local laws, governmental agencies and necessary documents to
navigate the complexities of multi-jurisdictional matters. Internationally experienced,

INTERNATIONAL CORPORATE LAW
Many of Shumaker’s lawyers have valuable experience working on international corporate
matters, either on behalf of a domestic company conducting business overseas or a foreign
entity entering into or already conducting business in the United States.
Through Shumaker
lawyers and our global network, we are familiar with corporate matters and completing
corporate transactions around the world and, more importantly, are prepared for the jurisdictional
issues that arise in connection with these matters.
Our clients benefit from our ability to flag
potential pitfalls in each country, advise on cultural differences and nuances, offer invaluable ancillary advice in such areas as intellectual property, tax, employment and competition law
and manage even the most demanding due diligence exercises.
Corporate Organizations and Securities
Shumaker understands that it is essential to get the structure of any business organization right
in terms of governance, fiscal efficiency, minimization of potential liabilities and compliance
with legal obligations. Our lawyers do this while taking into account the client’s relevant tax,
finance and other considerations, particularly as the organization grows and raises capital,
undertakes transactions and expands globally.
We provide advice on the formation and
structuring of corporate organizations, the structure and jurisdiction for particular transactions, issues of corporate governance and fiduciary compliance and related matters. We also advise clients on securities law issues ranging from the raising of capital privately to accessing public equity and debt capital markets for securities offerings, securities registration and
related matters.
Corporate Transactions
Our lawyers have years of experience in assisting their clients in international corporate
transactions, including both “outbound” and “inbound” transactions. In an increasingly global economy that includes global corporate transactions, companies must continually position themselves to
access markets and technology, improve margins and reduce their exposure to risk. Our corporate
practice group advises many clients regarding global mergers and acquisitions, IPOs, public and private equity and debt offerings, venture capital and private equity investments and other transactional
matters.
The lawyers in our corporate practice group are augmented by specialists in such areas of law
as intellectual property, tax, employment (including compensation, benefits and ERISA), litigation, real estate and environmental. We also have numerous contacts and familiarity with investment bankers, banking institutions, other private financial sources and capital markets to provide
clients with additional professional services with respect to these corporate transactions.

GLOBAL TRADE
Shumaker assists clients in managing the risks and maximizing the opportunities associated with the
increasing regulation of international trade in goods and services. Our international trade practice provides a range of services designed to match the scope of global trade regulation and to answer the
needs of our clients wherever and whenever they arise.
Our lawyers provide commercial contract support for in-house legal teams and also handle projects
and business-critical contracts for companies across sectors. Our commercial lawyers work on deals
ranging from single agreements to complex business transactions.
Our lawyers work with clients to structure and document relationships with suppliers, customers or
strategic partners to exploit markets and assets. Our lawyers can draft the wide range of documents
necessary to create and preserve these relationships, protect our clients’ rights and enhance the value
of our clients’ businesses. We not only advise our clients in legal matters, but also in business and
cultural matters, utilizing where necessary Shumaker’s extensive global network.
Shumaker also advises clients on the effects of legislation under multilateral agreements
and bilateral agreements. As new trade agreements are implemented, we keep on top of the
process and develop effective negotiating positions and strategies. Often these agreements affect
business operations and structures and our lawyers show clients what changes are necessary.

IMMIGRATION
Immigration management is essential to a client’s ability to establish a stable workforce. Shumaker
lawyers understand this and have solid expertise and experience in this field of practice, gained over
years of professional practice.
Shumaker’s immigration practice group provides comprehensive legal support to assist domestic, foreign and global companies in the transfer of personnel into the United States for work-related reasons.
We also assist clients in the transfer of personnel abroad by ensuring issuance of the proper immigration documents in foreign jurisdictions. Our immigration practice group is particularly effective in representing our immigration clients, as members of our group come from culturally diverse backgrounds
and are able to communicate effectively in many languages.
Shumaker’s substantial expertise in immigration law includes applying for and obtaining (1) nonimmigrant visas, such as B-1 business, E-1 and E-2 treaty trader and treaty investor, J-1 exchange visitor,
L-1 intracompany transferee, H, Ev and TN visas; and (2) permanent resident status and U.S. citizenship.
