Cross-Border Disputes and Discovery

As business moves across borders, so do disputes.  Krevolin & Horst is ready to help.

About

Krevolin & Horst has experience:

  • Establishing or defending personal jurisdiction over foreign litigants in U.S. Courts, and perfecting international service through the Hague Service Convention.
  • Enforcing international arbitration awards in U.S. Courts under the New York Convention, to ensure that awards can be collected upon for debtors with assets in the United States.
  • Seeking or defending discovery under federal law 28 U.S.C. § 1782. This law allows foreign litigants access to the U.S. legal system to collect discovery to aid in foreign litigation.  Access to U.S. discovery mechanisms can be a game changer for foreign litigation, where many jurisdictions prohibit discovery under their own procedures.
