The Laws Behind International Trade

As corporations go global, so do the legal issues they confront. International Joint Venture Law is an authoritative, insider's perspective on the ins and outs of joint venture transactions around the world. Covering nearly fifteen countries, the chapters in this book provide insight on the regulations and procedures that govern joint ventures and other types of cross-border transactions. From practical information on court proceedings and document disclosure to larger strategies for negotiating and successfully closing a deal, each chapter is authored by local attorneys who discuss the most important elements of joint ventures in their respective countries. Also included is information on alternative dispute resolutions, liability, and laws unique to each country, of which an outsider may not be aware. This book takes readers beyond the laws that exist on paper and provides practical information for foreign businesses on the current legal environment, relevant case law, and standard business practices. With a wealth of localized expert knowledge, International Joint Venture Law is a must-have reference for any company or professional pursuing a global business Planning & Strategy.
