Halliburton announced on March 12, 2007, that "it would open a corporate headquarters in the [[United Arab Emirates]] city of [[Dubai]] and move its chairman and chief executive, [[David J. Lesar]], there." [http://www.iht.com/articles/2007/03/12/business/web-0312halliburton.php] "Halliburton will remain a US company subject to US laws, but Dubai has no extradition agreement with the United States, meaning that Mr. Lesar could not be compelled to return to the US to testify, stand trial or serve any sentence related to any Halliburton activities under investigation."
"According to this [http://levin.senate.gov/newsroom/supporting/2004/030404taxhavenGAOreport.pdf 2004 GAO report], the company is incorporated in Delaware, but has (or had at that time) 17 subsidiaries in tax-haven countries."

The company will also maintain its existing corporate office in Houston, Texas, "as well as its legal incorporation in the United States, meaning that it will still be subject to domestic laws and regulations." [http://www.iht.com/articles/2007/03/12/business/web-0312halliburton.php]
