Legal advice increasingly has an international component, which requires an understanding of the legal environment in which international business and investments are made, including the ways in which different legal systems treat corporations, partnerships, limited liability companies, and other common forms of legal entities. The course will analyze and compare corporations, partnerships, limited liability companies, trusts, and other forms of legal entities used for conducting business and making investments internationally, as well as the operational, tax, and other reasons why one form of entity may be chosen over another in planning for a particular international business or investment. In addition, issues specific to joint ventures, both contractual and organizational, as well as the unique issues involved in structuring international investments in real estate will be explored. General knowledge of business entities, real estate, and tax issues will be useful, but is not required.
