Kohner, Mann & Kailas, S.C. (Milwaukee, WI) attorneys Stephen Taylor and Robert L. Gegios are authors of "Bridging Cultural Differences: A Prerequisite for Counsel in International Transactions," appearing in the newly-released Kluwer Law International publication The Comparative Law Yearbook of International Business.
The authors argue that the ability to bridge cultural differences is already an inherent element of good counsel in international business dealings and is likely to become increasingly essential due to a continuing realignment of global economic power, raising questions about whether current legal training equips lawyers to meet the present expectations of businesses.
