The global economy is producing a large number of international disputes. Litigating across national borders is often legally complex and difficult to predict. It requires experience and legal training to coordinate and implement an effective litigation strategy.

Holland & Knight's International Arbitration and Litigation Team has the experience and training necessary to handle the unique dimensions of international litigation. Members of our team assist clients in all aspects of cross-border dispute.

International litigation is unrestricted in almost every sense – geographically, legally and linguistically – and is difficult to predict both substantively and procedurally. Through our experience, size and strategic geographic presence, our team helps clients fully assess and manage international and foreign disputes.

Our goal is to exert control over the international dispute process, assess the risks and provide solutions. We counsel and represent clients regarding potential international disputes before litigation is initiated. This includes tailoring specific arbitration and mediation clauses, selecting the best suitable forum and law, and protecting and enforcing intellectual property rights.

Our team works closely with the firm's in-house Investigative Group, which includes former federal investigators with experience in gathering intelligence, tracking down witnesses and obtaining information abroad. Group members maintain a network of contacts throughout the world who are available to assist in locating individuals and obtaining critical facts.
