Cultural Nuances in International Negotiations
Tony Cioni, Torys LLP


Have you ever wondered why you got that funny look when you were doing a negotiation with that company from overseas? Were you left paying the tab after the other party stormed out of the restaurant?

Tony's talk will center around the cultural nuances of international negotiations. What you don't know can kill your deal, or set your joint venture relationship off on the wrong footing.

Our speaker for the June 20th luncheon is Tony Cioni from Torys LLP. Tony is a lawyer, specializing in International Joint Venture negotiations. Tony has worked in many countries in the Middle East as well as Central/East and Southeast Asia. He has lived and/or worked in Kuwait, Kazakhstan and Russia with some hard negotiation time in China.
