Members at Romero Zapiola, Clusellas & Sluga Abogados provide broad and comprehensive services to all their clients on various aspects related to foreign trade and dispute resolution, including:
Sometimes the lack of regulatory transparency can cause inefficiencies that result in lost opportunities for a global market and trade barriers can be more complex and bureaucratic than traditional measures such as import tariffs and quotas. Today, governments are more protectionist and companies have few effective resources in domestic legal systems.
International rules on transnational trade and investment, on the other hand, try to prevent governments from taking arbitrary action and, to that end, develop resources for potential local conflicts. Thus, companies rely on World Trade Organization rules, free trade agreements and other less formal negotiations that allow them to develop their activities and comply with antitrust and financial services regulations.
At Romero Zapiola, Clusellas & Sluga Abogados we have efficiently used the rules of the World Trade Organization to request the authorities to reconsider certain internal decisions that had been taken in sectors such as footwear, CDs and polyester fibres.

We know that the effective implementation of these measures can be critical to a company's success.
