Content

Dealing with companies in other legal and fiscal systems may pose serious problems regarding ownership of goods, but also of intellectual property. The validity of contracts may be entirely different in another country and strongly depends on local mores and beliefs regarding what constitutes an agreement. Intercultural differences are nowhere more blatantly apparent than when contracts are negotiated or disputes regarding liabilities have to be settled.
