International commerce requires a clear overview of the interplay between Icelandic legislation, EEA law and foreign rules. Jonsson & Hall advises companies and investors on the preparation, execution and follow-up of transactions spanning more than one jurisdiction.
Specialised service and experience
Our advice may cover, among other things, contract drafting between parties in different countries, trademark protection in foreign markets, distribution and agency agreements, customs and export matters, and the interplay with rules on foreign investment in Iceland.
