SUMMARY:Cross-border deals for closely held companies
DESCRIPTION:This panel will explore how advisors to closely held companie
 s can structure cross-border transactions and partnerships in ways that 
 reduce friction. The panel will examine the missteps that can arise when
  US‑style agreements are deployed in non‑US transactions\, including the
  interpretation of common law concepts by civil law courts\, and will ad
 dress how to choose governing law\, including when to select neutral law
  that is neither the buyer’s nor the seller’s home country law. The pane
 l will also evaluate different choices in arbitration provisions. The pa
 nel discussion will include tactical considerations\, such as selecting 
 and managing local counsel\, coordinating multi‑jurisdictional diligence
  and reconciling negotiation styles across markets. Finally\, the panel 
 will offer practical tips on how to prepare clients for the internationa
 l components of a transaction (including labour law\, regulatory approva
 ls\, data protection\, tax and other local requirements).\n
