The Opportunity of Successful Regulatory Engagement in Emerging Markets

Abstract

This paper discusses the role of a multi-national corporation's law department in adding value to the business in emerging markets. In particular, the manner in which regulatory issues are handled is used as a case study. It highlights the advantage of a law department's international reach, in contrast to the limited geographical remit of local management and why this places responsibility on the legal team to leverage a corporation and industry's experience in one part of the world so it is understood elsewhere.
