International Legal Litigation
International Legal Litigation
International litigation is defined as a lawsuit that is brought forward as a result of disputes between two or more parties, either individuals or businesses, who reside in different countries. International litigation attorneys have a full understanding and knowledge of all laws in the countries that are involved. You can sue someone from another country just as you can be sued in the United States by someone from another country.If you cannot find any other means to solving your issue with the other party, you may find that investing money in a lawsuit overseas is worthwhile.
Generally, legal claims can be filed in state courts in the United States against individuals who have left the state and/or country. If the person being sued does not appear in court to defend themselves, they risk receiving a default judgment. An international lawyer is an attorney who focuses their legal practice on international disputes. These types of disputes may include international business, trade, or criminal issues. Although lawyers have long educational paths, once established, lawyers of all kinds can earn large salaries.
In every lawsuit, the plaintiff must effect service of process upon the defendant(s). In the international context, the issue of service of process is more complex.
In the United States, service of process is routinely carried out by private lawyers or their agents. In contrast, many other countries consider the activity of serving process in a judicial proceeding to be one appropriate only for the government or an arm of the government.
As a result of differing approaches to the issue of service of process, several nations signed the Hague Service Convention (1965), under which each member nation is required to establish a Central Authority to receive, review, and execute requests from foreign courts for carrying out service of process.
Most countries that are signatories to the Hague Service Convention will accept requests for service that are signed by the lawyer for the plaintiff (claimant). Two exceptions are the UK and Israel.
Any lawyer who ignores the international aspects of service of process when suing a non-US defendant might find that the resulting judgment cannot be enforced where the defendants’ assets are available.
