Creative lawyering is key to working with China: when negotiating with Chinese companies, attorneys should try non-traditional approaches

Article Abstract:

Attorneys involved in negotiating with Chinese companies can often benefit from non-traditional approaches. Contractual obligations with a Chinese company are often subject to the whims of the company, so documents and contracts should be used to establish a good working relationship. They should be as straightforward as possible and present realistic expectations that are understood by all parties. The forum for potential grievance procedures is important, and the courts are not the best option. Arbitration is a possibility, but nothing is guaranteed with the Chinese.

Article Abstract:

Chile needs $12 billion of investment in the next five years to build, fix, and maintain infrastructure to support the 7% growth rate it has enjoyed for the past decade. Private-sector bidding on projects is now the preferred way to finance such projects, and new legislation will give investors and lenders more options. Chile has an investment grade rating, rare in Latin America. Commercial bank credit, international agencies such as International Finance Corp and the US Export-Import bank, and the capital markets are discussed.

Younger workers may be a new 'protected class;' a New Jersey decision permitting workers under 40 to bring age discrimination claims may affect employers nationwide

Article Abstract:

The New Jersey Supreme Court's 1999 ruling in Bergren Commercial Bank v. Sisler held that the New Jersey Law Against Discrimination permitted age discrimination suits by individuals younger than 40 against both current and prospective employers, and this ruling, based on a widely duplicated state law, could have ramifications nationwide. Moreover, the case raises interesting questions about compliance and employer liability.
