Location
Reboul MacMurray Hewitt & Maynard, at 45 Rockefeller Plaza (5th Avenue at 51st Street), 11th Floor, NYC


Companies seeking to conduct business in Japan or other foreign markets have three basic options: acquire an existing business, set up a greenfield operation, or enter into a joint venture or strategic alliance with an operating entity in the targeted country. How do you decide which approach is best for your firm? Three partners from the law firm of Reboul MacMurray Hewitt & Maynard discuss the distinct advantages, in a bearish economic climate, of entering a foreign market by way of a joint venture or strategic alliance. Topics include how to negotiate and structure a joint venture, the pitfalls to avoid and the factors that make for a successful strategic alliance overseas. A cocktail and hors d’oeuvres reception follows the program.
