August 2007 – July 2010 (3 years)
Almost all major companies today are involved in international business activities or face competition from global sources. Increasingly, midsize firms, too, know that their success requires active participation in the world market. Doing business in the international arena is exciting. It can also be complex and intimidating. It is subject to a large array of domestic statutes and regulations governing employment, contracts, exports, imports, international finance, overseas investments, and the general conduct of business in or involving foreign jurisdictions. Bryan Cave LLP has long counseled clients in complying with such laws and, when necessary, in dealing with the governmental investigations and enforcement actions that can be a troubling part of the international regulatory landscape.
