Description
Cross-border business transactions often entail the transfer of assets, which requires some basic knowledge of diverse legal systems; consultants working on such transactions need to have an overview of the procedural particularities of these jurisdictions, and practical knowledge that will enable them to approach the transaction from an informed perspective. This handbook provides essential information relating to the transfer of assets or entire business units in thirty-two of the most important jurisdictions in the world. Each chapter is dedicated to a separate jurisdiction, and discusses, among other practical topics of interest, form requirements, registration obligations, regulatory compliance, real property, intellectual property, taxes, insolvency law, costs and timing issues as well as the transfer of employees. The purpose of this book is to create a better understanding of the legal and practical concerns associated with asset transfers in the relevant jurisdictions. Through it the reader will be able to identify potential legal issues, assess whether or not local advisors have to be consulted and make informed judgments about timing and costs associated with a prospective transaction. This compendium should serve as a useful guide for all professionals involved in international M&A transactions, including lawyers, investment bankers, tax advisors and other consultants. The chapters were prepared by experienced lawyers practicing in established international and local law firms and legal scholars from preeminent universities around the world.
