INTERNATIONAL LITIGATION SUPPORT

Given the rapid dissolution of international commercial and corporate borders, we offer clients litigation management and support for disputes in foreign jurisdictions.

 

We have on several occasions assisted clients with the management of litigation abroad including the United States, Switzerland, the British Virgin Islands, England, The Netherlands, Botswana and Namibia.

Our services include:



briefing local lawyers and, together with them, developing strategies that meet our clients’ objectives and requirements;

managing deliverables from local lawyers and meaningful reporting and feedback to clients.


We have found that in providing such services, our clients are able to avoid the time consuming and often frustrating process of managing the conduct of litigation in a foreign country and the delivery of services from local lawyers that meet the client’s requirements.

 

Armed with an in-depth background to the matter, we work closely with our foreign colleagues to limit the client’s legal cost exposure and risks as well as monitor the progress of the matter and ensure that matters are dealt with professionally and as expeditiously as possible.

STRATEGY. SUCCESS.
