Negotiating International Contracts: Some real and some mythical contrasts with domestic negotiations 

While trying to avoid painting with too broad a brush, this CLE will explore some of the major issues to be aware of in negotiating a contract with a Mexican company, as opposed to a New Mexican company. Both differences and similarities will be discussed with regard to language, legal principles, authority, tactics, company entity,and other subjects.
