What traps to avoid when dealing with offshore partners?
michael_dorfman: I second the recommendation for a trip to Europe for a face-to-face-- if you're not willing to spare that expense, you're severely underbudgeted.With regard to the enforceability of agreements, etc., talk to your lawyer.  Again, if you don't want to spend the money to talk to a lawyer now, you're definitely not going to be happy about spending significantly more money with him/her in the event you need to take legal action to try to enforce the agreements....
