The Bao Lyon Group, LLCMarket research & investigations

Every successful business strategy is built on a deep understanding of its customers and competitors. Market research is the systematic process of gathering and analyzing this information to better anticipate market reactions to your products and services.

While business owners informally gather market intelligence all the time—by talking to customers or checking competitor pricing—formalizing this process can unlock richer insights about your market and inform smarter business decisions.

Regardless of your budget or experience, structured market research is essential for reducing risk and improving your business outcomes. The Bao Lyon Group, LLC can help you formalize this critical process. Contact us for a tailored analysis of your specific needs.

Letters Rogatory

Letters rogatory, also known as letters of request, are formal requests from a court in one country to a court in another country seeking judicial assistance. The most common forms of assistance sought through letters rogatory are:

Service of process: This involves the official notification of legal documents to individuals or entities in the foreign country.
Taking of evidence: This refers to gathering testimony or documents from witnesses located in the foreign country for use in legal proceedings in the requesting country.

In cases where direct transmission between courts is not possible, letters rogatory may require the involvement of diplomatic or consular channels for transmittal.
This method is generally used when there are no treaties or agreements between the two countries to facilitate the requested judicial assistance. It is important to note that executing these requests can be a lengthy process due to the involvement of diplomatic channels and the need to follow the judicial procedures of the requested country.

Service by Agent

A process server is a neutral, third-party professional tasked with delivering legal documents to defendants, witnesses, or other parties named in a legal action. This delivery, or "service of process," is a crucial component of due process, as it formally notifies individuals of legal proceedings and their obligation to respond.

Role and function

Deliver legal documents: Process servers deliver a range of documents, including summonses, complaints, subpoenas, writs, and eviction notices.
Verify proper service: They must ensure that documents are served in accordance with the laws of the relevant jurisdiction. Different states and countries have distinct rules governing who can be served, and when and where delivery can occur.
Provide proof of service: After successful delivery, the process server completes an affidavit of service, which is filed with the court as evidence that the documents were served correctly.

Domestic and international service
Process-serving can be complex, especially when legal matters cross borders.

Domestic service: The server must comply with the specific rules and regulations of the local jurisdiction.
International service: This requires navigating treaties like the Hague Service Convention or using Letters Rogatory, depending on the country. It often involves different government channels and translation requirements.
