Description

Press release from the City of Mentor: August 10th, 2021 The Mentor International Trade Initiative Seminar Series continues with a timely presentation addressing International Contracts and Agreements. The event will be held on Thursday, September 9, 2021 from 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM at Mentor Schools Paradigm Center located at 6477 Center Street. International agreements can include representation or distribution contracts, licensing, manufacturing and/or sourcing agreements. Laws and regulations governing those agreements are not always what parties to the contract expect – and the consequences for those misunderstandings can be dire. This hybrid seminar will cover what business managers should be aware of BEFORE they enter into an agreement with an entity located in another country, what remedies are available when something goes wrong, and how to prevent inadvertent violations of US regulations related to forced labor, bribery or new requirements outlined in the USMCA.  The seminar will be presented by three legal professionals, each with on-the-ground experience in the Americas, Europe, Latin America and Asia. Who Should Attend? This seminar will focus on the practical business aspects of entering into contractual obligations with parties located in other countries.
