An Overview of International Litigation & Arbitration

Dispute resolution in cross-border and cross-ocean transactions requires consistency, fairness, predictability, expediency and collectability. In the United State the preferred method of resolution is by litigation. In contrast, the rest of the world far prefers arbitration.
