Cross Border Transactions
Bridging borders
Strong trade links across the U.S. – Canadian border have become increasingly important in the age of globalization. These traditional links have taken on new importance as businesses within the emerging Northeast Atlantic Region seek to grow into neighboring markets. Eaton Peabody foresaw this trend as early as the mid-1980’s and has since provided specialized legal services to dozens of companies with operations on both sides of the border. This extensive experience with companies of all sizes enables us to anticipate the needs of our cross-border clients and to address their concerns efficiently and effectively.

Eaton Peabody emphasizes local, Maine-based service. However, when circumstances warrant, we provide ready access to other appropriate national and international legal experts through our affiliation with TAGLaw, a consortium of globally focused independent law firms.
