In today’s market, attorneys have to understand cross border transactions to thrive. According to a study by Grant Thornton IBR, the global average for respondents expecting their acquisitive growth to be cross border was 39%, a significant number that includes not only developed countries, but also the emerging nations that have seen a steady increase in their international activities. Other cross border activities, such as trade, telecommunications, and web-based activities, are also steadily increasing in an increasingly connected and globalized environment.
As positive as some of this economic growth can be, cross border activities also lead to complications as legal teams must consider which sanctions, money-laundering regimes and anti-corruption laws, international treaties, and data privacy laws are at play within each jurisdiction. Additional concerns about conflicts of interest and legal privilege further complicate the issue. This can be an incredibly complex practice area where concrete knowledge and information is critical to success, but where approaches often differ based on the country and culture where the activities are taking place.
The speakers will discuss these issues from an American and European perspective, comparing and contrasting the different views and attitudes that shape cross border practices in different countries.
