"Corporate Transactions & Formations in Civil Law Countries: 
Key Considerations and Case Studies From Brazil"

Attend this FREE CLE seminar sponsored by COGENCY GLOBAL for newly admitted and experienced attorneys, paralegals and other legal/financial professionals involved in entity formation and corporate transactions. 

When you handle corporate transactions and entity formation internationally, you're likely working with a civil law country. Filing office and legal requirements in civil law countries can differ significantly from what is familiar to U.S. legal and business professionals in the common law environment. This program offers a brief background on civil law and provides a practical understanding of trends, the formation and due diligence processes, and the potential  pitfalls and benefits of civil law systems. Examples from Brazil illustrate and drive home the important  points covered.

Topics to be covered include: 

• Overview of Civil Law Systems
  • Effect on formations and document retrieval
• International Trends
  • Beneficial owner transparency requirements
  • EU 4th Directive and South American formation rules
• Civil Law Foundations
  
  • Registered offices vs. Registered Agent, Authorized Representative liability -- and more!
  • Examples: Luxembourg and Brazil
• Due Diligence and Public Registries
  • Availability of charter docs, Good Standing Certificates and UCC-equivalent searches
  • Example: U.S. attorney requesting due diligence searches in Brazil

Advance registration is REQUIRED
