Reinhart Announces Updated Version of Foreign Investment Guide

MILWAUKEE – Reinhart Boerner Van Deuren s.c. announces an updated version of its publication, "Foreign Investment in the United States: A Guide Detailing the Most Important Legal Considerations for Foreign Investors in the United States." The Guide was first published in 1996 to help educate foreign investors interested in investing in the United States and has been periodically updated.

The Guide introduces foreign investors and their legal counsel to the types of legal considerations and issues that are most likely to be important to them in importing their products, establishing a new operation, purchasing an existing operation, and operating safely and successfully in the U.S. market.

The Guide provides key information about:

• Important U.S. legal and tax issues that every foreign investor should understand
• Issues an investor or a foreign lawyer accustomed to another business culture and another legal system may find surprising or unexpected, such as the susceptibility by which a foreign person can be found liable for damages, the extent of liability, the nature of the subject matter being regulated, etc.
• Common issues that investors may find to be virtually unavoidable
