The Rise of Emerging Market Multinationals: Legal Challenges Ahead

José E. Alvarez

Chapter Chapter 22 in Foreign Direct Investments from Emerging Markets, 2010, pp 425-444 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Lawyers are interlopers when the discussion concerns the business challenges that multinational enterprises (MNEs) from emerging markets face today, and are likely to face in the future. As many readers might know from their own (perhaps not entirely pleasant) encounters with lawyers, lawyers ask a lot of questions before they offer advice to their clients. They are notoriously cautious and curious. Accordingly, in this chapter, I would like to raise some of the questions a lawyer would want those running emerging market MNEs to answer, before beginning to suggest the legal ways forward. In doing so, I will begin by outlining some of the background realities that inspire these questions.
