DUBAI, UAE - Michael
Diaz, Jr., managing partner at Diaz Reus & Targ, LLP, spoke
about understanding and managing legal and regulatory risks when
investing in Latin America, at the Latin American Mid-East
Investment Forum held at the Jumeirah Emirates Towers in Dubai
on Wednesday, February 4, 2009.
"This was a successful and well attended event which confirms the
interest level and commitment to bilateral trade and investment
opportunities between Latin America and the Middle East," said Diaz.
"This event was particularly timely now that investors from the GCC
(The UAE, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar and Oman) are seeking
less traditional markets for greater yield and diversification."
Approximately 200 business and government leaders from the
Mid-East, Latin America, the United States and Europe attended the
event hosted by LatinFinance. The forum's objective was to discuss
and explore emerging investment opportunities and partnerships among
Latin America and the Persian Gulf States.
"The global marketplace requires exacting multilingual and
multicultural legal knowledge to conduct international business
successfully," continued Diaz. "Likewise, an international
commercial arena fraught with complex cross-border disputes calls
for particular agility and experience in worldwide courts and
arbitral tribunals. Our law firm is uniquely positioned to play a
significant role in this growing relationship between the two
regions as a result of our experience and capabilities in these
markets".
