#Person1#: What do you think we need to do to get our new branch office running well?
#Person2#: First, I'd make sure that we have a good, local, corporate lawyer. He or she will know all the local laws and regulations.
#Person1#: That's very important. A friend recommended a good law firm to me. We'll need someone to hire staff.
#Person2#: I think that we should send one of our HR people to do that. I don't think we should use an agency, because they won't be familiar with the type of people we employ. Have we decide on the location of the branch office?
#Person1#: Yes. We have. We chose the location in the northeast of the city, not too far from the airport and on the edge of the CBD.
#Person2#: Why didn't we choose an office in the CBD?
#Person1#: The offices there were too expensive. Have we negotiated any contracts yet?
#Person2#: Yes. We'Ve signed two contracts with companies that we already do work for in other countries. We hope to sign another three this month.
#Person1#: When will the branch office open?
#Person2#: Hopefully next month. Everything is a little rushed. We should be able to set up our branch office and expand our business quickly.
#Person1#: Has and advertising campaign been prepared?
#Person2#: Yes, it has. We're going to target the business community through business magazine.
#Person1#: I made plenty of business contract on my last visit and through the embassy. We should be able to get plenty of customers.
#Person1# and #Person2# will need a lawyer and send one of their HR people to hire staff for their new branch office. #Person1# chose the location in the northeast of the city. #Person2# has signed two contracts and hopes the branch office will open next month with the advertising campaign prepared.
