Being in the global marketplace requires US companies to deal with the complexities of enforcing their rights under international contracts in jurisdictions outside the United States. The advantage of using arbitration to resolve disputes under international contracts has been frequently discussed in recent years.

This program will provide basic legal tips in foreign investment distribution agreements, dealer and agent relationships, labor agreements and antitrust and enforcement trends for doing business in Latin American countries. Other areas to be discussed are the challenges with the jointly and several liability in labor of distribution relationships and enforcement of foreign jurisdiction and foreign applicable law clauses in Latin American countries.

With the steady increase of cross-national relationships in virtually every industry, it is inevitable that a domestic company, irrespective of size, will at some point face a cross-border bankruptcy matter. Consideration of this international component is critical for the in-house practitioner to effectively protect the client when structuring transactions. When the inevitable cross-border insolvency arises, a basic knowledge of the applicable rules will be equally critical to minimize the interruption to operations and potential loss of revenue.

If your company is doing business outside the United States, you need to attend this session to be brought up-to-date on all applicable privacy laws. Many global organizations have had to change the way they handle personal information and privacy issues.

Presented at the Global Corporate Counsel Association 2002 Annual Meeting in France. The program titled: WHAT EVERY IN-HOUSE LAWYER SHOULD KNOW ABOUT
NON-DISCLOSURE AGREEMENTS:
PROTECTING COMPANY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
AND STRATEGIC NON-PUBLIC BUSINESS INFORMATION

This survey covers the results of the Laurence Simons group on in-house salary and benefits.

The worldwide financial crisis has affected more than just stock markets and the economies of individual countries. It has significantly impacted where and how companies operate and make decisions about Foreign Direct Investments (FDI), particularly in Asia. This session will be conducted as a roundtable discussion of experts who have first-hand experiences in the region. They will discuss the short and long-term effects of the crisis on FDI. The roundtable will also highlight the risks and opportunities that now exist in China, India, Southeast Asia, Russia, Japan and Korea.

Gone global? More and more companies are stretching their operations across the world; in-house employment lawyers can no longer afford to be experts only in US employment law. Instead, those who work for multinational companies must be able to manage complex multijurisdictional human resources projects, as well as employment issues arising in many countries simultaneously. This panel will address some of the key challenges such as managing global reductions in force, and provide advice on best practices.
