I come here with two hats on, one of Edward Martin, who was unable to be here, and the other is my own, which is that of one straight out of law school and practicing only for a few months.

Mr. Martin asked me to impress upon you the fact that it is very difficult to practice transnational law without fully understanding the culture and the laws of the foreign nation with which you are dealing. It is difficult to sit in New York and keep current with the law and thinking and certain forecasting that you have to do in the practice of law.
