It is vital for law firms and in house counsel that they are at
the forefront when advising on the specifics and legalities of the
technology supply chain, which increasingly relies on mining raw
materials for use within the manufacturing process of
'smart' products. However, an acute awareness of the
barriers is also essential.
As such, Gowling WLG's
Protectionism 2.0 Report highlights how protectionist domestic
policies from country to country can stifle the commercial overseas
collaboration opportunities that technology offers.
Given the increase in protectionist policies, and the inherent
link that exists between these and mining essential raw materials,
it has never been more important that in house teams work closely
with their advisers to anticipate market changes and implement
strategies to manoeuvre through what can be difficult events and
circumstances.
