Gramdan Solicitors

International Trade - We deal with all aspects, ranging from insurance, trade finance and the negotiation and drafting of international contracts of sale to the resolution of trade disputes either privately or through the appropriate procedure. We will tell you where you stand legally and what you need to do in order to introduce your product/service to your chosen market, advising on the structure and legal framework of transactions in the UK, Malaysia and internationally.

Commercial Transactions - We advise on the drafting, negotiation and implementation of international commercial contracts. Talk to us if you are entering into a distribution agreement or joint venture, creating a subsidiary or acquiring/disposing of a business or assets, setting up a business or establishing a franchise operation. We will prepare the documentation and provide a first-hand understanding of important factors ranging from national statutory regulations to competition law and tax planning.

Shipping - We advise clients on charterparties, contracts of affreightment, joint ventures and ship building and repair contracts, as well as bills of lading. We act for clients involved in marine accidents, frauds and insurance claims, salvage and collision and problems relating to crewing, stevedoring and ship agencies. We offer advice based on practical experience and sound legal expertise.

Intellectual Property - The nature of many clients work means that intellectual property rights need to be identified and established and trade marks registered before entering into cross border franchise, agency, distribution or joint venture agreements or setting up an overseas operation. We work with clients to clearly differentiate their products and services in terms of innovation, design and branding and help protect them in the UK, Malaysia and other countries.

Property - When you are buying or selling a family home, investment/development property or commercial premises, both locally and internationally, our property team has the expertise to provide a professional, cost-effective service. We will draft, negotiate and manage contracts relating to buying/selling property and building and development projects, paying particular attention to meeting timing and financial objectives and minimizing and controlling disputes. We will advise on the implication of various courses of action and liaise with the appropriate regulatory authorities concerning permits, environmental matters and subsidies.

Immigration - We advise commercial and private clients on immigration procedures and regulations. We will explain the legal procedure, tell you how long it may take and determine the other matters which might need addressing prior to the commencement of the immigration process. If you are preparing to invest, work or study overseas or you are an employer planning to bring key members of your management team to your new venture, we will assess the prospects of success and tell you about the legal necessities, eligibility issues and the documentation you will need. We also specialise in immigration appeals.

Alternative Dispute Resolution / Litigation - We will pursue or defend claims, including debt recovery, for a client business or personal affairs and disputes arising from international transactions. Each case is considered individually, taking into account the precise nature of the dispute, the jurisdictions involved and the preferred outcome before we will recommend a course of action. Litigation is often expensive, time-consuming and the outcome can be uncertain. ADR offers more control over the decision making process, timetable and, ultimately, the cost.
