业务范围
尽职调查
在瞬息万变、来势汹汹的并购、合作和投资交易中，得到准确、全面的知识产权评估至关重要。
出口管制
The reach of trade and export requirements is broad, affecting U.S. companies or organizations that export materials, software, and technologies, as well as non-U.S. companies that may utilize such exports in products of their own.
自由运作意见
A Freedom to Operate (FTO) opinion helps limit the risk of future litigation and avoid unnecessary expense related to a new product or acquisition.
