Some locations where US companies operate have well established functioning legal systems and Status of Forces Agreements (“SOFAs”) that provide protections and privileges for these contractors while performing work on behalf of the US military forces or other US government agencies. In other nations, however, the legal systems are immature, less predictable, the SOFA is untested and armed hostilities may be taking place. Multinational companies face the risk of running afoul of host nation laws, regulations, unfair business practices and even dishonest officials on a daily basis.
