While the headlines describe troubled waters in Europe’s economy, there is also tremendous opportunity. David M. Rubenstein, co-founder of the Carlyle Group, commented last month that “Europe is one of the world’s greatest investment opportunities right now.” Upstate New York businesses continue to invest in Europe and have significant operations in the region. Additionally, many regional companies have European roots and investors from Europe continue to look at expanding and making acquisitions in our area.

Learn from experienced professionals, including a team of lawyers from Nixon Peabody’s Paris office, about the current European business environment and strategies to succeed in Europe. Plus, hear about the flow of capital from Europe to the U.S. and our region, from professionals who work in this field.
