Comprehensive Dispute Resolution Strategies Tailored to Your Needs

We recognize that a “one size fits all” approach doesn’t apply in the realm of international disputes. Our team employs a nuanced approach, carefully assessing each case to determine the most effective strategy. Here’s an overview of the methods we utilize:

Negotiation: For parties seeking to preserve a business relationship, negotiation is often the most desirable option. Our skilled negotiators leverage their understanding of international business practices and cultural sensitivities to bridge communication gaps and to reach mutually beneficial solutions. This not only minimizes legal costs, but it can also foster a foundation for continued collaboration.

Mediation: In situations where direct negotiation proves challenging, mediation can be a valuable tool. A neutral third-party mediator facilitates discussions, guiding the parties towards a solution that addresses their underlying interests. We have mediated hundreds of cases both within and outside the United States.

Arbitration. When it comes to arbitration, our approach is rooted in thorough preparation and strategic advocacy. We work closely with our clients to understand their objectives and develop a compelling case strategy tailored to the nuances of the arbitration process. Our team has extensive experience navigating the rules and procedures of international arbitration forums, including the selection of arbitrators and the presentation of evidence.

Our team will guide you through the arbitration process, from drafting the arbitration agreement to selecting a neutral arbitrator and presenting your case effectively. We are adept at navigating the intricacies of international arbitration rules, ensuring your rights are protected throughout the proceedings. We have arbitrated cases in Canada, China, Hong Kong, Mexico, Singapore, Spain, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the United States.

Litigation. Our international litigation attorneys are known for their tenacity and skill in the courtroom. We meticulously research the applicable laws and regulations, gather compelling evidence, and craft persuasive arguments to present our clients’ cases effectively. Whether litigating in North, Central, or South America, Europe, Africa, or Asia, our goal is always the same: to achieve the best possible outcome for our clients through diligent preparation and relentless advocacy.

When negotiation, mediation, or arbitration are not viable options, our accomplished trial lawyers are prepared to fiercely advocate for you in court. We have extensive experience litigating complex international disputes in North, Central and South America, Europe, Africa, and Asia. Our team will meticulously research the applicable laws, gather compelling evidence, and develop a strategic litigation plan to maximize your chances of success. And when appropriate, we bring in trusted and known local counsel to ensure seamless navigation of the specific legal landscape.
