US TO EUROPE.
THE WORLD'S
HIGHEST-VOLUME
CORRIDOR.
The US–Europe corridor generates more cross-border legal work than any other in the world — M&A in both directions, technology regulatory divergence, employment complexity for transatlantic workforces, and tax structuring in a post-Pillar Two world. WLA co-practices both sides simultaneously.
NOT TWO FIRMS.
ONE CO-PRACTICE
TEAM.
WLA co-practice means both the local legal expert on the US side AND the European side jointly hold the client matter under one WLA Institutional framework. The client deals with one team — not two separate firms passing a referral.
WHERE THE DEAL
FLOW IS
HEAVIEST.
Five sectors dominate US–Europe corridor deal flow. WLA holds specialists in all five practices across both corridor sides — one brief covers every sector and every jurisdiction simultaneously.
EU AI Act compliance · GDPR · US tech M&A into Europe and European tech into US. FSR compliance for US-subsidised acquirers.
Transatlantic pharma M&A · EMA and FDA dual regulatory compliance · IP licensing and technology transfer across both sides simultaneously.
US banks expanding EU presence · MiFID II · Basel III · Fintech licensing in both directions · DORA compliance for US financial entities in EU.
US reshoring and EU nearshoring · supply chain restructuring · workforce transfers with TUPE and US employment simultaneously held.
Transatlantic PE buyouts in both directions · FSR compliance for EU acquisitions · Delaware and EU company law co-practiced as one team from LOI to close.
