We live in unprecedented economic times. In this rapidly changing environment, borders are dissolving, the world is getting flatter, and transactions are conducted across borders with nations, legal systems, and regulations unlike our own.

Global trade has skyrocketed, and with it the need for transnational legal counseling (and litigation help). The pace of change in law firm organization and structure, particularly among law firms that offer their services across national borders, has accelerated in the past few years. This new and updated reference, the ABA Guide to Foreign Law Firms, Fifth Edition, is designed to help both U.S. and non U.S. lawyers in identifying qualified legal counsel in the many foreign jurisdictions with which such lawyers are likely to come into contact, particularly those in countries emerging as significant factors in international commercial transactions. The complexity and diversity of legal problems today frequently brings American lawyers and their clients into contact with the laws of foreign jurisdictions. In addition to American clients wanting to purchase from, invest in, or export to, other countries, there are numerous occasions during counseling and/or litigation when questions of f…

Asia's growing dominance is due to a fundamental and historic change taking place. All of the countries in Asia are shedding more than 500 years of unwanted outside influence and pressures. Today, too few in the West understand this history. Asia will dominate the world economy over the next century. In order to compete in and with Asia, you must understand how to act and know what to avoid. A strategy is needed. Asia Ascending: Insider Strategies for Competing with the Global Colossus presents practical inside advice about what works and what is doomed to fail. There is no success without some basic understanding of this wildly diverse continent. The four most comprehensive chapters examine China, India, Japan, and Korea, which today are the dominant players in the region. Other chapters reveal the unique aspects of doing business in smaller but still very vital economies such as Indonesia, Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Taiwan. Then, sometimes overlooked and emer…

Globalization has impacted many facets of life, but none so keenly as international trade. Written by a team of international lawyers with broad experience in the area, this book provides a thorough analysis of the restrictions - especially the internal restrictions imposed by the Chinese government - on the outflow of investments from China to the European sector. It shows how the dynamic has changed dramatically in recent years as China positions itself in international markets and pours massive amounts of money into those investments. Chinese Expansion in the European Union (EU) is a comprehensive guide to Chinese investment, covering the EU merger control regime and how its institutions operate, development and deployment of innovative emerging industries and technologies, strategies to attract Chinese investors in Europe, investment diversification, the impact of new reforms on China-EU policies, and the effective protection of intellectual property rights.

In order to ensure that international trade deals were uniform and fair for all parties involved, the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) was developed. Written for the novice who may be encountering CISG for the first time or for the seasoned lawyer who is looking for a "refresher course," this practical guide will help practitioners decipher and understand the complexities of this area of law. The authors conducted extensive research, reading more than 150 U.S. cases that have been decided under the CISG, as well as many decisions of international tribunals as they crafted this valuable, user-friendly guide. Each chapter closes by posing questions built on basic facts in a fictional hypothetical, and directs you to portions of the chapter that address each question. While the hypothetical is not an actual case, it is based on two leading CISG cases, as well as facts from a dispute under the UCC. In addition, this guide includes informatio…

?Declines in US federal spending force US government contractors to compete for fewer domestic opportunities and provide an additional incentive to look abroad. Growing foreign procurement markets offer significant potential opportunities but also increased risks that US contractors are well advised to identify and manage. This book aims to provide a practical tool for companies considering such international opportunities by identifying the potential unique risks associated with international procurements and ways to mitigate and manage these risks.

Civil litigation in the United States is becoming an increasingly international practice, requiring litigants and courts to apply foreign and international law in order to resolve domestic cases. Discovery is one of the principal areas of civil litigation that requires collaboration across national lines and efficacy of court orders beyond jurisdictional boundaries. Although central to the practice of civil litigation in the United States, discovery is virtually unknown in most civil law jurisdictions, which creates a problem for obtaining necessary evidence from these countries. This book considers the procedures for obtaining evidence in the United States through the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and the Hague Evidence Convention. The book then describes, in successive chapters organized by jurisdiction, the laws that enable foreign litigants to obtain evidence in the respective countries. Each chapter discusses the controlling law on foreign discovery, including the type of evide…

The GDPR is a comprehensive European data privacy regulation that applies to US companies that offer services to Europeans. United States companies and US-based legal practitioners are particularly concerned with the GDPR because of its draconian penalties which are up to 4% of gross revenue. Although the regulation has similarities to facets of United States data privacy and security laws, US legal practitioners often find it confusing and inaccessible. The impact that the GDPR has on an organization depends in part on its industry, business model, size, presence in the European Union, and use of data, Companies—regardless of the industry—often raised the same basic questions. This book compiles those frequently asked questions and attempts to provide straightforward answers. It is a useful resource for companies that are new to the GDPR, for companies that have been working with it for years, and for data protection officers who wrestle with how to apply the GDPR on a dai…

Cartel issues arise in a variety of settings and industries and increasingly without regard to jurisdictional boundaries. Many jurisdictions have granted their competition authorities broad jurisdictional reach and provided them with aggressive investigative tools, such as wiretap authority and compulsory process. There is also a burgeoning movement to criminalize cartel activity in places where it has previously been regarded as wholly or principally a civil or administrative matter. And the global proliferation of leniency programs continues to radically destabilize cartels, creating powerful incentives for institutions to turn against their co-conspirators. This first edition of the International Antitrust Cartel Handbook is a vital reference for both new and experienced antitrust practitioners navigating the increasingly complex global cartel enforcement environment. It brings together leading cartel practitioners from around the world to address the critical issues that arise th…

Before China's entry into the World Trade Organization (WTO), the Chinese IP regime was out-of-step with international standards. China has made rapid progress since then. To obtain approval for entry, it made all the necessary amendments to its Patent Law, Copyright Law, and the Trademark Law, and also revised relevant Implementation Rules to bring such measures into compliance with the Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS). Despite full compliance with these standards, the Chinese IP system still involves distinct characteristics: for example, enforcement power is divided between two powerful and independent branches of the government, which can surprise U.S. practitioners accustomed to using the judicial branch as the primary means for addressing IP infringement issues. Written by twenty legal practitioners who are extraordinarily familiar with China's intellectual property laws, this state-of-the-art book discusses and summarizes the protection …

The book takes a humorous journey, and examines, country by country, the failures of European legal and political institutions that contributed to and led up to the Brexit vote. An Island Apart is a great resource to lawyers who practice international law and businesspeople dealing with the U.K. and the E.U. Many titles covering this topic focus on a micro-level on the behind-the-scenes political machinations and maneuvering in the build-up to the June 2016 Brexit referendum. An Island Apart looks at the subject from a more macro-European perspective, focusing on the failure of European legal and political institutions in the years leading up to the BREXIT vote, and attempts to put the historic decision into broader contexts for American readers. In short, the purpose of this book is to take Europe off its four-point Corinthian white marble pedestal. The breathless way in which an American journalist describes the "magic" of their first Eurostar train trip from London to Paris does…

"Free Trade Agreements 2d examines the origins of free trade agreements (FTAs) and customs unions (CUs) under Article 24 of the GATT. Article 24 permits but attempts to regulate their creation, an effort that failed early on. A sleeping giant for decades, FTAs were re-awakened by the path-breaking Canada-U.S. FTA of 1989. In 1994, NAFTA triggered an onslaught of diverse and complex FTAs around the globe, in time largely overwhelming the impact of the establishment of the World Trade Organization in 1995. The hostility of President Trump to existing trade agreements like the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP-12), the WTO, the EU, the U.S.-Korea FTA, and NAFTA caused the number of FTAs to increase. America’s trade partners and competitors rushed to secure trade deals not involving the USA. TPP-11, the Japan-EU FTA, the expanded Mexico-EU FTA, the MERCOSUR-EU FTA, and the China-driven Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP 2020) in Asia provide excellent examples.

The global supply chain is broken. Because COVID-19 brought this issue to the forefront, many assume that the pandemic is the reason for the collapse. It is not. Instead, four MaxTrends™ are largely responsible for the transformations already underway. Transforming the Global Supply Chain describes these MaxTrends™ in detail––the growing presence of cyber threats, the revolutionary impact of 3-D printing, the rapid adoption of robotics, and the new ways nations everywhere are seeking to protect their domestic economies from foreign competitors. For many reasons, the biggest casualty over the next five years will be China. Some companies are already beginning the process of moving their supply chains out of China to other locations in Southeast Asia, India, and the Americas. Those U.S. companies that are aggressively reacting to economic and political pressures by reshoring their supply chains back to America are poised to be the most successfu…

This Nutshell introduces students, lawyers, government officials and business persons to the law and economics of North American free trade.
