International Directory of Corporate Symbols and Terms Available
San Diego/Washington, D.C./Pittsburgh, 8/1/2003 - Members
of the International
Business Law Consortium (IBLC)
have published the first edition of The International Directory of
Corporate Symbols and Terms (“Directory”). The Directory
translates into English, defines and explains corporate symbols and
selected business terminology used in 28 countries. Examples
are: “GmbH,” “S.A.,” “Oy,” “Public Trustee,” “Sociedad
Colectiva,” and “Konzern.”
Hull McGuire PC, a Pittsburgh-based law firm, and the
Germany-based law firm of Busse & Miessen, of Bonn, serve as General
Editors of the Directory. Twenty-nine IBLC
members contributed to the book. Individuals or companies
interested in a copy, free of charge, should contact Joanna Glass at jglass@hullmcguire.com. Copies
of this edition free of charge are limited.
“Even seasoned international lawyers and business people
-- who may often confine their activities to a handful of countries --
will be interested in this simple easy-to-use book,” said Julie McGuire,
a Hull McGuire shareholder and founder. “Dan Hull and Mary
Hodges of our firm, and Busse & Miessen in Germany, spent 20 months
compiling and finalizing the information in this first edition.”
The IBLC
book will be revised regularly both to add new legal developments and
basic corporate terminology in other jurisdictions.
