April 15, 2003 Full PDF
Mark Bergman and David Lakhdhir's article "Different Strokes" is featured in the Spring 2003 issue of Chief Legal Executive. The article discusses the necessity for chief legal officers to advise their chief executive officers about pertinent differences between jurisdictions before they cross the threshold on any cross-border acquisition. Bergman and Lakhdhir provide key questions and answers to consider before embarking on a cross-border transaction, noting that the answers and even some of the questions may vary from country to country or deal to deal. Some issues that chief legal officers should investigate and consider include deal structure, disclosure requirements, regulatory constraints, tax implications, labor issues and other special rules and regulations.
