International lawyers dealing with joint ventures face complex legal issues on a daily basis. Practical guidance is a must. The necessary documentation and clauses have been developed from the regular practices of other international lawyers all over the world. Legal custom has been the guiding hand with less reliance on legal theory. But the two—custom and theory—must complement one another. In this substantially revised third edition of a popular text, an American lawyer with over 40 years’ experience in a European capital provides in clear, straightforward simple language, with multiple forms and clauses, the practice and indispensable theory necessary to ensure a successful orientation for the international practitioner.
