"[Utilizing international ADR] will often avoid complex problems related to the enforceability of court decrees and the exercise of jurisdiction over business parties from different countries, which is a vexing and ubiquitous issue in international business disputes." –Jason Lim Chen Thor, Lawyers Association Worldwide, Singapore

Unfamiliar Legal Territory
Foreign countries’ local court systems can have subtle variations – and not-so-subtle variations – on rules and practices, and there is always the specter of possible advantages for the party litigating in its own backyard. With so much at stake in international commerce, why take the chance with international litigation?
