Background

About Nigel Smith

I possess considerable experience working on cross-border transactions throughout the world, with a particular emphasis on the United States, Latin America and Asia-Pacific. These experiences have afforded me the ability to gain knowledge of various legal systems and business cultures, as well as contributing to my unique skill set. I am a skilled negotiator, with excellent communication skills and the ability to manage the sometimes competing commercial and legal interests. I strive to be commercially focused and seek creative solutions to legal problems, while limiting potential exposure to risk. My experience includes successfully leading a number of high-profile and important industry deals and transactions. Over a number of years working as an international lawyer, I have developed the ability to interpret and navigate complex legal and transactional issues and have consistently been commended for my exceptional soft skills and commercial focus. I have enjoyed mentoring a number of young lawyers and paralegals and possess natural leadership qualities and a proven track-record managing legal professionals.
