Cross Border Disputes

DEDICATED EXPERTISE

MSF’s cross-border practice group handles high-stakes business disputes for American and foreign clients in state and federal courts across the United States. We are American trial lawyers who are also familiar with the procedural laws of key foreign jurisdictions. When the circumstances present themselves, we avail ourselves of the advantages offered in key foreign jurisdictions to maximize our clients’ chances of success in disputes pending in the United States. Many of our U.S.-based actions have ancillary proceedings in foreign jurisdictions, including for evidentiary applications to secure critical evidence that is otherwise unavailable in the United States or to obtain prejudgment provisional relief such as broad asset freezes and other injunctive relief.

Relatedly, we also have deep experience with assisting foreign law firms and their clients obtain evidence in the United States in aid of pending or contemplated foreign proceedings through 28 U.S.C. Section 1782 applications.

We represent wealthy individuals, companies and sovereign nations in a wide array of actions throughout the United States involving cryptocurrency, entertainment, healthcare, pharmaceuticals, energy, banking/financial services, technology, securities, real estate and construction disputes. We routinely initiate actions against large corporations on behalf of our clients. 

We currently represent institutional and high net-worth individual clients in high-stakes commercial disputes from the following nations: Brazil, England, France, Italy, Germany, Hungary, Switzerland, Russia, Cyprus, Turkey, Kuwait, Lebanon, United Arab Emirates, India, Nigeria, Australia and the United States. Many of these cases have ancillary actions pending in foreign courts of law, including the Cayman Islands, British Virgin Islands, Cyprus, England, Switzerland, Singapore, Hong Kong and the Dubai International Financial Centre (“DIFC”).
