Global Sourcing

Companies often look to forming strategic alliances for cost-efficient business growth and development.

These relationships frequently require complex negotiation and documentation; our lawyers understand that the quality of such efforts can set the tone for the future relationship—any agreement is merely the beginning of a layered and evolving relationship that often involves interactions within multiple levels of an organization. When they succeed, sourcing relationships can enable an enterprise to access skilled personnel and state of the art technology it might not otherwise afford, freeing up valuable internal resources. Because sourcing partners often interact with customers and new distribution channels, a successful relationship is crucial.

Miles & Stockbridge lawyers invest the time and energy to know their clients from the ground up and negotiate successful strategic sourcing transactions, both domestic and offshore. Our outsourcing experience provides a practical framework upon which we base our outsourcing advice to clients—understanding also that each client has unique goals and needs that must be addressed and may require innovations that go beyond commonly used outsourcing models.
