Everything You Need to Know About Consulting a lawyers in international litigation in New York City
Choose a field to find an expert in New York City
In international commercial contracts, the choice of law and dispute resolution clause determines whether you litigate in a US court, arbitrate under ICC or UNCITRAL rules, or proceed in a foreign tribunal. Your international litigation lawyer needs to see this clause first to advise accurately on strategy and procedural options.
If you have an international arbitral award, enforcement in New York is governed by the New York Convention on Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards. The grounds for refusing enforcement are limited. A lawyer familiar with Southern District of New York practice will assess whether the award meets Convention requirements.
US courts can compel discovery from persons or companies in the US for use in foreign proceedings under 28 U.S.C. § 1782. This is a powerful tool in international disputes, but courts apply discretionary factors. Ask your lawyer whether this mechanism is available and strategic for your situation.
If your dispute involves business conducted in countries subject to US sanctions or involves payments that may implicate the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, disclose this to your lawyer immediately. FCPA and OFAC sanctions exposure can affect litigation strategy and may require coordination with federal regulators.
