Opening an office or subsidiary in a foreign jurisdiction can be daunting, and not simply because of culture, location or resource challenges. This session will provide a valuable discussion of the topics and explore various practical and legal issues arising when opening and operating satellite offices in foreign jurisdictions. Issues to be addressed include chartering and establishing legal entities, creating and maintaining relationships with local tax, legal and business consultants, as well as relevant government offices, overcoming the real estate and physical infrastructure challenges, employment considerations for hiring both local and foreign employees, and integrating the newly opened operations with those of the larger organization.
