SHOWCASE PROGRAM

Practical Aspects of Cross-Border Expansion (Corporate Counsel)

In-house and outside counsel from several jurisdictions will discuss the key issues that should be considered when a U.S. business decides to sell products or services in those jurisdictions for the first time. The session will focus on issues relating both to establishing overseas agencies and distributorships and to differences between the rules in foreign legal systems from those applied in the U.S. The panel will provide practical tips on various matters such as protecting intellectual property, dealing with antitrust and other regulatory issues, selecting the right law to govern the relationship and choosing an effective dispute resolution mechanism.
