Linklaters LLP leverages its substantial global footprint to advise on a broad range of multi-jurisdictional commercial issues, including negotiating collaboration agreements between BHP Billiton Group, a leading mineral resource company, and I-Pulse, as well as the cross-supply agreements for one of the largest consumer section transactions over 2022 involving Perfetti Van Melle. The firm demonstrates notable strength counselling on transformational commercial partnerships and procurements.
