In the post-Enron and Worldcom world, the development and maintenance of effective corporate governance strategies and policies remain top priorities for in-house counsel. You are frequently called upon by management and boards of directors as first responders in M&A situations and are expected to guide the company through corporate governance issues affecting M&A transactions.

This program gave the participants a better understanding of the basic differences between the various branches of these two legal traditions and looked at some of the nuances of the two systems’ different negotiating styles in order to help us more successfully negotiate international transactions.
