INTERNATIONAL TRADE AND TRANSACTIONS

---

Companies engaging in business overseas may require the assistance of a Notary Public. In order to carry out commercial and corporate affairs in foreign jurisdictions, notaries are often needed to prepare and authenticate various documents.

If you require the assistance of a Notary Public regarding corporate documentation, contact John.

A Distribution Agreement usually involves a distributor who buys products from a manufacturer or other seller, before selling them to their own customers.

When distributors and manufacturers are in different countries, the assistance of a Notary Public may be required. This helps to ensure that agreements are valid for authorities in all relevant jurisdictions.

If you require the assistance of a Notary Public regarding Distribution Agreements, contact John.

The schedule below contains a list of countries which typically accept as valid a document signed in England by an authorised person under English law and which has been Apostilled under the Convention. John has significant experience in notarising and arranging Apostille against documents for use in these countries, including countries not included that may require embassy or consular legalisation. If you require the assistance of a Notary Public to facilitate this process, contact John.
