Details

Written by lawyers who practice in the nearly 60 jurisdictions covered, this title is a practitioner-oriented compilation of expert commentary and practical guidance. Each country's chapter is consistently structured around 22 points of comparison, covering such topics as incorporation regulations, foreign trade, contract law, agency, bills of exchange, real estate, liens, intellectual property, competition laws, civil litigation, bankruptcy, and arbitration. In addition to the nation-specific chapters, the authors provide text of, and commentary on, major transnational agreements regulating international commerce. The book also examines overarching international frameworks established by the European Union, World Bank, United Nations, and other supranational bodies.
