Overview

As the global economy continues to present many opportunities for the legal industry, most U.S. attorneys may not yet fully appreciate and understand the international business practices required to successfully navigate cultural differences that impact business relationships.  

Please join Armando Rivera Jacobo of Debevoise & Plimpton LLP and Carlos Alexandre Lobo of Veirano Advogados as they discuss the cultural and legal issues U.S. attorneys may face while doing deals in Latin America, including: 

  • how to address FCPA questions in an unsophisticated environment;
  • dealing with language barriers;
  • understanding key differences between the U.S. and local legal systems;
  • adapting “U.S. style” transaction documents for local use, and helping local users understand and manage those documents;
  • dealing with differences in development and implementation of the rule of law around the region; and
  • understanding the different exchange control systems throughout Latin America.
