Cross-border litigation
Cross-border litigation refers to legal disputes involving parties from different countries. These cases can arise from various issues, such as contracts, business transactions, or personal injuries. Because laws vary by country, resolving these disputes often requires navigating different legal systems, jurisdictions, and regulations. Courts may need to consider international treaties or agreements. This type of litigation can be complex, as it involves coordination between legal representatives from various countries and may require translation of documents, understanding of foreign laws, and sometimes even travel to different jurisdictions for hearings or evidence collection.
