Deloitte Legal practitioners use leading technologies and services to deliver efficient and transparent support for the legal activities companies manage. We offer legal advisory services that can assist your day-to-day tasks.

Corporate Law

We have a full range of cross-border and national corporate law services in more than 75 countries, advising you on complex corporate legal matters while guiding you on concerns arising from day-to-day operational activities. Our Tax, Consulting, Accounting, and Financial Advisory services can help clients with cohesive guidance based on their individual circumstances.

Digitalization, IT & IP

Intellectual Property (IP) is a critical business asset that can significantly increase corporate value. We are here to help you with the capture, protection, and enforcement of IP assets—focusing on the resolution of various types of IP disputes, from tech-related patent, software, and data disputes through to more traditional trademark, copyright and design infringements.

Technologies are evolving rapidly and, as a result, organizations, large and small, private and public, are fundamentally rethinking how they operate. We can tailor our technology law offering to your needs by combining Legal and Regulatory capabilities with other Deloitte businesses such as Consulting, Audit, Risk Advisory, Financial Advisory, and Tax to create an integrated, holistic approach.

Dispute Resolution

Our network of lawyers defends your rights and protects your interests in conflict situations. Focusing specifically on multinationals challenged with cross-border concerns, we can help you mitigate possible litigation or, if unavoidable, represent you in court to obtain a beneficial judgment. Areas of focus include civil and commercial litigation and arbitration, public litigation, employment litigation, and tax litigation.

Employment Law & Benefits

A wide range of workforce challenges can impact a company’s ability to attract and retain talent or can damage reputation and market value in an instant. We offer trusted, globally scalable employment law solutions that can lead you on the right path toward success. Our services can help you with global mobility; individual employment law; contingent workforce; workforce transformation; and compensation & benefits such as CEO pay ratios, gender pay-gap reporting, and compliance with minimum wage requirements.

We advise you throughout each stage of a transaction, from negotiation to execution, while aligning with our tax and finance colleagues to cover risks. We provide support during the following critical phases: sourcing; screening; NDA; first review; LOI/NBO; due diligence; compliance due diligence; legal structuring; binding documentation, completion & closing; anti-trust filing/merger control clearance; post-M&A integration; and capital market compliance.

Regulatory & Compliance

The increasing complexity of the global regulatory environment challenges companies to find solutions for greater organization, specialization, and sectoral knowledge. We combine a global perspective with local insights to help you develop and implement those solutions. Our regulatory and compliance services support you in areas such as business integrity and financial crime; antitrust, competition, and trade; sanctions; financial services regulation and investigations; regulation; insurance; energy; and public law.

Private Clients Legal Services
