Why consult a litigation lawyer in the country concerned?
When a dispute involves a party, an asset or a contract in another country, the first questions are often: which court has jurisdiction, which law applies and how can a decision be enforced? Procedures, deadlines and costs vary considerably from one country to another.
A lawyer who practises in the country concerned can analyse your situation, explain the options available, from amicable negotiation to court proceedings, and represent you before the courts of that country. Lex Globo helps you find such a lawyer, in a language you understand.
Who is it for?
- Companies in dispute with a foreign customer, supplier or partner
- Individuals in dispute with a party located abroad
