Office of The Chief Counsel for
The Commercial Law Development Program

Welcome
The Commercial Law Development Program (CLDP), a program of the U.S. Department of Commerce Office of General Counsel, is uniquely tasked with providing technical assistance in the commercial law arena to the governments and private sectors of transitional countries in support of their economic development goals.


Office Description
CLDP's programs are customized to address key issues that are high priorities for both the host government and the firms interested in doing business in that country. Through these programs, CLDP actively helps to improve the legal and regulatory environment for U.S. businesses working in transitional countries.

CLDP utilizes its unique ability to develop amenable and efficacious programs that integrate the expertise of various agencies of the U.S. Government, multilateral organizations, educational institutions and the private sector. CLDP provides this assistance by conducting educational programs and consultative services for lawmakers, regulators, judges, lawyers, and educators from host countries. CLDP initiatives help develop practical legal and procedural reforms that foster economic growth and international trade in transitional countries.
