So you want to do business in Europe?

Posted on

A good piece of my practice is helping my clients do business all over the world.  Most frequently, I’m helping a client either do business in Europe, or helping a European client do business in the U.S. The purpose of this post is to discuss some legal issues you should think through before doing business in, or with, Europeans. Some of this post, particularly the discussion of U.S. export laws, is appropriate for doing business globally.
