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

SLK-LAW.COM

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. 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 SecuritiesShumaker 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 attorneys 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.

/ / INTERNATIONAL CORPORATE LAW

// Corporate TransactionsOur lawyers have years of experience in assisting their clients in international corporate transactions,

including both “outbound” and “inbound” transactions. In this 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.

and enhance the value of our clients’ businesses. Our lawyers not only advise our clients in legal

matters, but also in business and cultural matters.

Shumaker also monitors legislative proposals worldwide and 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

team shows clients what changes are necessary. Because we are on top of the ever-shifting

They are in touch with changing tax laws, practices and dispute resolution techniques and

Shumaker has the depth of experience to effectively assist clients with their anti-trust and

competition needs. We represent clients in merger and cartel investigations in the United States

before the Anti-trust Division of the Justice Department, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC)

and the US Congress and in the European Union before the European Commission’s Directorate

General for Competition (DG Comp). As competition law enforcement has spread around the

globe, so has our experience in advising clients on merger and cartel matters in various other

jurisdictions, including EU member states, China, Japan and Korea.

Our anti-trust lawyers have substantial experience managing the many complexities of parallel

premerger proceedings and business-practice investigations by foreign competition authorities.

We have prepared premerger filings, defended investigations and supervised teams of local

counsel in all major countries with active anti-trust regimes.

With the support of the firm’s strong regulatory practices, we represent clients in many industries

that are regulated or have been deregulated in recent decades. We represent clients as

defendants in private class actions, other complex treble-damage litigation and parens

patriae cases brought by state attorneys general. We are also experienced with handling

state court class actions based on the unfair trade practice and consumer protection theories

that plaintiffs often use to avoid federal court.

Shumaker lawyers are able to represent clients in all of their intellectual property needs,

including their most challenging and complex intellectual property needs, all of which, like

our clients’ interests, transcend geographic boundaries. With Shumaker, clients receive the

in-depth intellectual property knowledge more commonly associated with boutique intellectual

property firms, along with the global resources and wider commercial perspective of our

international practice, both of which are essential for keeping our clients ahead of their markets.

Shumaker’s lawyers develop asset management and protection strategies designed to help

clients manage risk, continue growth and protect market share around the globe. We

understand the commercial issues and pressures which arise from intellectual property

disputes or related negotiations and provide innovative and strategic solutions to deal with such

issues and pressures. We provide strong cross-jurisdictional intellectual property support,

managed either locally, centrally or through a series of networking arrangements.

Often, intellectual property issues do not arise in a vacuum—they transcend other practice areas

such as other commercial transactions and anti-trust. Using cross-disciplinary global teams, our

lawyers routinely guide our clients through the intellectual property aspects associated with

other commercial transactions and other complex, cross-practice matters.

Cross-border disputes are increasingly common, involving different cultures, legal systems and business

concepts. Shumaker’s lawyers advise clients operating under virtually any legal system, both

common and civil law, on every step of the dispute resolution process from the drafting of dispute

resolution clauses to the conduct of the proceedings and to the enforcement of the arbitral

awards. We can recommend suitably qualified arbitrators and expert witnesses. We also advise

on alternative dispute resolution methods such as mediation and can provide guidance on

the best dispute resolution options in any given situation.

/ / INTERNATIONAL DISPUTE RESOLUTION

// ArbitrationInternational arbitration procedures have been designed to overcome these difficulties. Many

businesses adopt arbitration provisions in their commercial agreements so that any disputes may

be resolved efficiently.

Our international arbitration practice has handled complex cross-border disputes in international

jurisdictions under a wide range of arbitral bodies. We have helped clients worldwide reap the benefits

of international arbitration procedures, including: flexibility in procedures and rules of evidence;

flexibility as to who will determine the dispute; greater ease of worldwide enforcement under

international conventions; greater levels of confidentiality; and greater neutrality.

We believe that such a workforce, with its varied perspectives and experiences, is a significant

benefit to our clients and the communities we serve. Among other things, diversity makes for

a broader, richer environment, which produces more creative thinking and solutions. Further,

our commitment to equal opportunity and a culture of inclusiveness and mutual respect helps us

retain individuals with exceptional talents and abilities, which only further ensures the delivery of

respect, inclusion and teamwork. To further promote our efforts, we appointed partner Jenifer

Belt as co-chair of our Professional Development Committee and Julio Esquivel as our Diversity Partner.

partnership of our associate attorneys. Under the Direction of Ms. Belt, our Professional Development

Committee is setting and updating diversity goals, designing initiatives to help us achieve our

goals and assisting our minority lawyers to reach their full professional potential.

We also believe that good mentoring and networking occur outside of the law firm, and we

pay dues for minority bar association memberships, including the Tampa Bay Hispanic Bar

Association and the George Edgecomb Bar Association. We also support various minority

business associations, such as Hispanic Chambers of Commerce, Asian American Chambers

and the Network of Executive Women.

Our attempts to find, recruit and encourage promotion of minorities, including women, have

rewarded the firm and the individuals involved. Minorities have served on our management

committee and currently lead our Professional Development Committee and Employment Law

Practice Group. Minority attorneys in the firm serve on various committees, including our finance

and marketing committees. Minorities are also leaders in firm administration. Senior admin-

istrative positions held by minorities include Director of Administration (Tampa), Director

of Human Resources (Toledo), Director of Marketing and Communications - Florida (Tampa),
