Non-US Litigation
Squire Sanders has represented clients in transnational disputes in courts and administrative bodies around the world. We offer clients the combined forces of lawyers trained in the United States with skilled dispute resolution lawyers fluent in the language, law and practice in key locations around the world. For numerous clients, the firm also coordinates the litigation strategy and efforts of local counsel worldwide.
We regularly represent domestic and foreign clients in complex international disputes. We have experience with the treaties, statutes and rules governing international litigation, including the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act, the Hague Service Convention and procedures for obtaining international judicial assistance in civil matters. We also have experience obtaining emergency relief such as temporary restraining orders or injunctions when the situation is time sensitive and enforcing arbitral awards or court orders.
Our work includes a broad range of complex commercial disputes, including matters involving foreign states and state-owned companies, class actions, construction, employment, energy, EU and antitrust, insurance and reinsurance, intellectual property and technology, product liability, restructuring and insolvency and securities.
