International UCC Article 9 Equivalents
What you need to know about searching for and securing assets outside of the United States
Knowing what types of laws similar to the Uniform Commercial Code Article 9 exist in countries outside the United States and how to search for secured assets as well as the processes to secure assets in those countries is critical to protecting assets and interests in today’s global economy. Although the UCC Article 9 exists only in the United States as a matter of law, many other jurisdictions outside the U.S. have laws similar to UCC Article 9. Where to look, private versus public, and common law versus civil law are all questions that warrant careful consideration when transacting business abroad. It is also important to understand international judgments and tax lien equivalents to ensure proper search techniques and that searches comply with local privacy laws. This thirty minute webinar will provide practical knowledge and offer best practices to the legal professional who is responsible for transacting business outside the United States.Event Details
