Cross-Border Secured Transactions: What happens when everything that can go wrong, goes wrong? Monday, September 24, 2007 Sponsored by: International commercial lending transactions involving multi-national businesses have unique credit, currency and liquidity risks that are not encountered in a domestic transaction. As U.S. companies continue to expand their markets through foreign subsidiary operations, these types of transactions are becoming more and more common in today’s commercial lending facilities. Lawyers representing these companies and the lenders who provide these facilities need to have a thorough understanding of these risks as well as the protocol for working with international local lawyers. Structuring, negotiating and documenting crossborder financing transactions that minimize these risks presents an array of important legal issues. After this seminar, you will know how to address the legal issues involved in structuring, negotiating and documenting cross-border financing transactions. You will also understand how these risks can be mitigated through the use of tested loan structures and loan document provisions and the development of close relationships with local international counsel. In light of the present tightening of debt lending standards by U.S. commercial banks, and the increasing requirement for security in these transactions, panelists will also discuss lien enforcement and other legal issues. Specific Topics Include: I. Special Risks in Cross-Border Lending Transactions II. Regulatory Compliance Issues III. Tax Issues IV. The Key Relationships V. Drafting and Structuring Tips VII. Enforcement of Multi-Jurisdictional Remedies Dr. Adalberto Ramiro Barbosa Theodore J. Gaffney William A. Hunter, Esq. Jared H. Ward |
