AALS and European Law Faculties Association
Conference on Transatlantic Business Transactions
June 1–3, 2003
Barcelona, Spain
  

Why Attend?

One hallmark of the global economy is the subjection of international business transactions to the to the interplay of a confusing array of laws from different jurisdictions, and from different levels of law (international, regional, national, state and local). Problems involving conflicts of laws are even more likely to arise in the "post-September 11" atmosphere of heightened concerns over national security and extraterritorial applications of security-based legislation. This conference will engage experts in international business transactions and experts in conflicts of laws in discussions of the important conflicts issues that arise in the context of international business today. While intended for law teachers, the conference will also be relevant for sophisticated practitioners of international business law.
