Many of the major contractors in the United States, both building and civil, are owned by foreign companies. The legal systems, cultures and experiences in which these foreign companies operate in their home country and elsewhere around the world are often very different from those of their U.S. subsidiaries.
The notions of “legal privilege”, the concept of the Common Law and the diversity of statutes and regulations existing within a single country (the U.S.) are very different from their experience. In this session, General Counsel from several of the leading foreign owners of U.S. subsidiaries or branches will discuss how they deal with these differences and how their own systems impact upon the operation of their U.S. subsidiaries and branches.
Registration for the 2017 Construction SuperConference, Dec. 4-6, at the Encore at the Wynn Hotel, Las Vegas is available online and your conference pass includes access to the above mentioned plenary session.
