Let International Legal Services
Business transactions involving parties from two or more countries present unique issues when a dispute arises between the parties.

Careful analysis of the situation is required, which can include:

- A review of the agreement to see if the issue of dispute
     resolution is addressed;
- If a Dispute Resolution clause is included in the agreement,
     will it be respected by designated forum?;
- Assuming litigation is specified, would a judgment be enforced
     by the courts in the other country?;
- When a contract does not address this issue (or when there is
     no written agreement), what alternatives are there, aside from
     litigation?;
- What is the likelihood of prevailing in any proceeding? 
- How long might the process take? 
- What are the potential costs?;
- If you prevail in the action, does the other party have the ability to
     perform or pay?  If so, how would the judgment or award be
     enforced?; and,
- Would it be favorable to amicably resolve the matter in the interest
     of future business relations with the other party?

International Legal Services believes that many disputes can be resolved in a friendly manner, without the need to resort to costly, lengthy litigation.  As outside counsel, we will analyze your situation from both a business and a legal perspective, and review the various options available.  Often, a visit by outside counsel to the other party is successful in reaching a mutually-acceptable solution at a lower cost and more quickly than by litigation.
