Everybody sees the tip of the iceberg - the venture capitalists and the tech entrepreneurs, but once you dig deeper, there's a need for

* strong intellectual property protection, be it patents, trademarks, etc.

* minority shareholder protections

* some reasonable liquidity structure, allowing employee compensation to have an equity component without excessive tax burden

* legal protections around embezzlements, self-dealing and various other self-gratifying schemes which can be employed by management with a large bank account at their hand

Those issues don't come up very often in the US, because the rules of the game are quite known.
