Cross-Border Transactions Member Resources

Purpose: The Cross-Border Transactions Practice Group covers five broad transactional areas:  Mergers and Acquisitions; Joint Ventures and Alliances; Project Finance; Corporate Finance; and Venture Capital. The purposes of the Practice Group will be to (a) provide networking opportunities for lawyers at Lex Mundi member firms who practice in those areas; (b) develop relationships among the lawyers in member firms who practice in those areas that will help market the services of member firm lawyers; (c) develop joint marketing tools and approaches; (d) develop tools that will enable the lawyers in member firms to work together on projects efficiently and effectively (example:  the Cross‑Border Project Management Guide and Checklist); and (e) exchange information on both substantive and market developments. This will enable practice group members to better assist clients in their global pursuits. Upcoming Meetings: The Cross-Border Transactions Practice Group will meet at the 2010 Annual and North America Regional Conference in Vancouver on Thursday, September 30, 2010 from 2:15 p.m. - 3:15 p.m. For more information click on Lex Mundi Regional Conferences.
