Comments on: Opinion: Harsh Criticism of Bogota is Out of Line http://www.nearshoreamericas.com/opinion-harsh-criticism-of-bogota-is-out-of-line/700/ Latin America Outsourcing in Real Time Wed, 01 Sep 2010 21:13:11 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: RICK DAVIS http://www.nearshoreamericas.com/opinion-harsh-criticism-of-bogota-is-out-of-line/700/comment-page-1/#comment-36 RICK DAVIS Fri, 17 Jul 2009 19:59:05 +0000 http://caribbeancrmcentral.wordpress.com/?p=700#comment-36 Over the last 20 years, I have seen a lot of changes occur in Bogota... one of my favorite cities in LatAm. The environment in the government is very US friendly now, with ample evidence that this good will may continue for the foreseeable future. The bad reputation spread about by ignorant or unprofessional people has helped to create less competition for professional managers. May I suggest that it is always a good idea to do all the research on a deal BEFORE getting to the closing table when doing business overseas? Here's a resource you may want to consider. Stories abound on the blogs and boards that detail troublesome issues that occurred as the result of some unknown legal or administrative issue that caused a potentially rewarding opportunity to turn nasty. I am fortunate that I have a daughter who is an international lawyer with a firm in Coral Gables, FL that is involved in court cases in many countries around the world. She is Paula Aguila, resident of Miami Beach and Mar del Plata, Argentina. Paula was born in Brazil, lived in Argentina, Spain etc and is active in contract and trial law in English, Spanish and Portuguese. Her LinkedIn profile is http://www.linkedin.com/pub/paula-aguila/14/478/375 Maybe she can save YOUR bacon as she has saved mine in several situations. Suerte, ya'll!
