Currency Volatility:  Many of our clients contend with fluctuations in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and their home currencies. Although the greenback is reasonably stable, even mild volatility can give their earnings a measure of unreliability. When we advise them to hedge against such risks, here are some of the issues that arise.
American Business Culture:  Doing deals in the United States is straightforward in some respects while baffling in others. American values run deeper than Hollywood and Coca-Cola, and thus we always help our clients navigate every nuance — from salesmanship to slang to socializing. For our clients with minimal prior exposure to American business culture, this serves as a helpful primer.
