While the companies more and more move throughout the world with the assistance of the globalization, the subject of international business law sees his importance increasing. The reason is quite easy to understand: more businesses are dealt with foreign countries more are the risks, then it is primordial for a company to be prepared and to know the legal factors of each transactions that it realizes throughout the world. By the way, to ignore the previous elements could be dangerous and become catastrophic in some cases.
The choice to do business with a poor and compromise state by example could prevent a company to receive money and it is the reason why all the aspects from international business law have to be known. It concerns the legal environment of course but the economical, cultural and social too by example. The report, which follows, will permit us to understand these elements with a case study and the different risks, which are a part of the contract. Secondary it will permit us to study the different way to start business in one foreign country like trade, international licensing of technology and intellectual property, or foreign direct investment.
The principal step of our study is the analysis from legal risks. Because we are working for a Chinese company we have to illustrate our points in comparison with its reference country to be efficient. Because two countries manage the oilfield, which is interesting for our client, we have to treat both of them. In a first time we will analyze Ghana, then we will study the second country: Nigeria.
