World Scientific Publishing Co.

Blank Rome LLP Partner Frederick D. Lipman recently authored International Strategic Alliances: Joint Ventures Between Asian and U.S. Companies (2nd Edition) with Professor Larry D. Qiu, a professor at the School of Economics and Finances and an Associate Dean at The University of Hong Kong.

International Strategic Alliances is a practical guide that tackles major issues one might encounter when establishing a Chinese-based or U.S.-based joint venture. It targets small and middle market U.S. companies that wish to establish strategic alliances based in China or other Asian countries in order to expand their markets. This book also caters to small, middle market, and larger Asian companies (not limited to the Fortune 500 list), that wish to establish strategic alliances based in the U.S. to grow their businesses. For example, one of the chapters includes a detailed step-by-step guide to obtaining a U.S. Green Card through an EB-5 visa for Asian entrepreneurs and their families.
