The International Bank and Other Guarantees Handbook provides a practical examination of the laws of 19 countries (and groups of countries) in the Middle East and Africa regions in respect to bank and other guarantees. It also contains, among other things, various guarantees forms. The aim of each country-specific chapter of the Handbook is to provide actionable information designed to guide legal or other practitioners in such jurisdiction. The editors, Mr. Yann Aubin, Mr. Jean-Claude Vecchiatto and Mr. Louis de Longeaux, deal with guarantees in an international context on a daily basis in the course of their respective positions as in-house lawyers of Fortune 500 multinational companies and partner of a multinational law firm. Yann Aubin is the Director of Legal Operations [and Deputy General Counsel] at Schlumberger based in Paris. He is the co-editor of the Export Control Laws and Regulations Handbook. Jean-Claude Vecchiatto is Vice President, Head of Corporate & Project Finance, Legal Affairs at the European Aeronautic Defence and Space Company, EADS, based in France and Germany. Louis de Longeaux is a partner with Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe law firm based in China, England, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Russia, Taipei and USA. The International Bank and Other Guarantees Handbook is invaluable to any international trade professional (lawyer, finance manager, project manager, etc.) or entity with a need to know the specific requirements to be complied within the jurisdiction in question for the efficient use of bank or other related guarantees.

Familiarity with guarantees and how they function under various national jurisdictions are essential for principals, guarantors, and beneficiaries of international contracts. This enormously useful handbook provides a practical overview of the guarantee regimes in twenty-eight European countries, with country-by-country contributions from regional expert practitioners and academics. For easy comparison, each country report follows the same structure, from preliminary discussion on the provisions of a guarantee to its negotiation, drafting, and enforcement.

Focusing on specific issues to consider at every stage, each chapter provides detailed information and guidance on such aspects as the following:

. who can issue guarantees;. limitations as to the type of obligations which may be subject to a guarantee;. issues relating to the protection of the contracting parties;. formal requirements which need to be complied with; . stamp duties or other tax payable;. presence of implied terms; . legal framework applicable to joint and several obligations;. modification of the situation; . conditions for release and actions to be taken to ensure a valid release; . opening of bankruptcy proceedings against the principal; . court enforcement; and. incorporation of uniform rules.

Each chapter includes references and model guarantee forms that readers can use to draft their own documents.

Invaluable to corporate counsel and law firms with an international practice, this peerless handbook will prove the first order of business in trade negotiations across Europe, among European nations themselves as well as with their global partners.

The importance of export control laws and regulations in international trade continues to grow, not only because of the increase in world trade and technology dispersion, but also due to concerns surrounding national and regional stability and the risk of terrorism. Accordingly, familiarity with export control laws and regulations around the world has become extremely important for those involved in the international trade of dual-use or military goods, technology, and services. In this preeminent handbook, now in its third edition, two experienced professionals have gathered contributions from expert practitioners and academics. The third edition adds three new country chapters (Brazil, Israel, and Sweden) and a new separate chapter on sanctions and embargoes.

In addition to chapters on the international regime in general, the book provides a practical overview of the export/import control regimes covering defence and dual-use goods and services in fourteen key jurisdictions. Country reports each follow the same structure for easy comparison. Issues and topics covered include the following and much more:

• import/export legal and regulatory requirements for controlled goods and services;• sanctions for breach of such requirements (civil, administrative, or criminal);• licence application processes;• arms, dual-use and other products embargo (including chemical and biological materials and technology); and• enforcement measures.

The Handbook also makes available, through an online application, all important standard export control–related forms, templates, and other related documents, all of which readers can use to draft their own documents.

The Handbook is invaluable to any professional (such as lawyers, compliance key players, procurement, logistics, finance and customs practitioners) working in relation to an organisation with a need to know the specific requirements to be followed for the efficient - and legally compliant - import or export of controlled military or dual-use goods, technologies or services.
