, and by the growth in international business.

The International Legalization Handbook provides a new understanding of the problems of international legalization, along with the original text of the 1961 Hague Convention The longtime status of Netherlands as a largely neutral nation in international conflicts and the corresponding ascendance of The Hague as a primary location for diplomatic and international conferences has led to several negotiated conventions over the years being termed the  Abolishing the Requirement of Legalization for Foreign Public Documents. While the Convention simplified the procedures applying to those countries which are signatories, a number of important countries have not yet acceded to it. For this reason, The International Legalization Handbook clearly sets out, in an alphabetical country-by country guide, the procedures to be followed when dealing with both signatories and non-signatories to The Convention. An appendix to the book lists the countries and jurisdictions that are parties to The Convention.

Written in language readily understood by experts and laymen alike, The International Legalization Handbook provides the solutions to such problems as those faced by UK businessmen wanting to know how to submit an agreement in a legally acceptable form for use in China, or American lawyers wanting to have documents legalised for use in the countries of the former Soviet Union.

The International Legalization Handbook is an indispensable guide for law firms This list of the world's largest law firms by revenue is taken from The Lawyer and The American Lawyer and is ordered by 2006 revenue:[1]

International business today is increasingly confronted by the administrative challenges posed by the legalization procedures of foreign countries for a wide range of official and private documents. The rapid increase in the number of new states, the growth of international business and the number of persons living and studying abroad has greatly increased the need for a compilation of the rules and procedures relating to relating to relate prepconcernant

In some cases The Hague Convention Abolishing the Requirement of Legalization for Foreign Public Documents has eased the administrative burden of international legalisations. As of January 1996, over eighty states are party to the Hague Convention. However, many of the procedures used before the Hague Convention are still used today by non-member countries and will apply where one of the countries involved in a legalization procedure is not a party to the Convention.

The format of this guide is easy to use. Chapter One describes the traditional legalization procedures. The background to the Hague Convention is examined in Chapter Two, followed by the text and an explanation of how the Hague Convention has affected the legalization requirements of member countries. Chapter Three explains how to use the country-by-country guide provided in Chapter Four.
