International
We are living in an interconnected global economy. Legal disputes and transactions between companies on the international stage require more than just legal expertise – they demand a deep understanding of cultural nuances, business expectations, and regulatory complexities. Our firm has extensive experience advising clients with international claims, including those related to structuring transactions, mitigating legal risks, and resolving disputes in U.S. courts and arbitration forums. Whether structuring a deal or resolving a dispute, we ensure our clients are well-equipped to navigate the complexities of U.S. law with confidence.
We have significant experience managing cross-border disputes and litigation, whether in U.S. courts or international arbitration forums. We guide clients through every stage of the dispute resolution process. We advise clients on structuring and drafting international transactions to minimize risk and comply with international rules and laws. When an international transaction goes sideways, we help clients navigate the process of recovering and defending international claims. When needed, we leverage our international networks by collaborating with trusted legal partners to ensure seamless cross-border representation.
