PLI International Litigation 2010

The growth of international business has inevitably resulted in more disputes that cross national boundaries. Parties involved in international business need to know when litigation is a more appropriate method of dispute resolution than arbitration, and, in situations where a dispute does not arise out of a contract, the strategic considerations that distinguish international litigation from pure domestic litigation. These considerations include securing the most favorable forum for the suit to be resolved, since more than one forum is likely to have jurisdiction when the dispute is international; obtaining evidence located abroad for use in a lawsuit in another country; managing global litigation, especially where lawsuits are filed in more than one country by multiple plaintiffs; and the enforceability of foreign judgments. Panels of experts will share their knowledge with you on these and other strategic issues.

Miller Nash partner Chris Helmer will be speaking as a member of the panel titled "International Litigators Tool Box No. 2:  The Service of Process on Foreign Defendants and The Taking of Evidence In International Litigation."
