Transnational Movement of People, Materials, and Products: Legal Best Practices

Supply chain issues have become increasingly significant for American businesses. The fragility of global supply chains has become all too obvious, and a sound understanding of the challenges that American businesses face in getting the materials they need and getting their products to the market is essential background information for the savvy corporate attorney and business executive.

In this course, we will explore the basic principles of moving people, materials, and products across nation boundaries. We will explore the supply chain as it existed prior to the pandemic and some of the durable lessons of the supply chain’s collapse. Finally, we will talk about some of the options and opportunities that greater diversity of supply chains present.

Corporate attorneys with varying levels of experience who work with companies that direct people, materials, or products from abroad or sell American made materials and products abroad will greatly benefit from attending this overview program.
