Call for Trade Attorneys to Assist with Case Studies
Message from Belay Seyoum, Professor of International Business at Nova Southeastern University: "I am presently working on a number of case studies in the area of international trade for graduate students specializing in international business. I have not been able to find cases in countertrade (barter, counter-purchase, buybacks etc.). I would be grateful if you can put me in touch with attorneys who deal in these areas. We will acknowledge their contribution and abide by any requirements of confidentiaility pertaining to the cases."
If you can assist in this matter, please contact Mr. Seyoum by email at seyoum@nova.edu.
