U.S. vs. EU Opinion Practice in Finance: Reconciling U.S. Customary Practice With Non-U.S. Expectations

Truman Bidwell was a panelist at a Strafford webinar, "U.S. vs. EU Opinion Practice in Finance: Reconciling U.S. Customary Practice With Non-U.S. Expectations," which was held on June 1, 2022.

The panelists provided a framework for U.S. attorneys to give opinions in cross-border transactions, including enforceability, authority, choice of law, the golden rule, misleading opinions and more. They also addressed how differences in custom and practice between U.S. and non-U.S. lawyers can affect these opinions and the assumptions, exceptions, and qualifications that should be incorporated.
