• As part of our formalized team feedback process, at least one of our other senior lawyers has a telephone or face-to-face conference with our seconded member at least once per week on the issues and activities faced by the client company

• Such a conference must also take place when, for example, an issue arises which is related to

  (1) market entry structure and options

  (2) cross-border taxation

  (3) setting the terms of a relationship with foreign counsel, and

  (4) agreement terms involving limitation of liability, warranty, dispute resolution and governing law

• One concrete value of our team approach lies in our collective experiences in developing our “toolkit” of key cross-border issues, as supplemented by on-the-ground input in target countries

• Each of us has an outstanding range of experiences with several foreign lawyers in each of several countries. Importantly, we believe that success comes not from knowing the name of a foreign lawyer or law firm but in understanding how to work with him or her to extract the needed information at a cost-effective rate
