Welcome to Dispute Resolution Around the World

An Online Resource for Resolving Commercial Disputes


Will a Vietnamese court enforce an arbitration clause? Does the losing party in litigation pay the winner's legal costs in France? Is mediation familiar to businesses in Argentina?

If your business is like most, you are increasingly faced with questions like these. As your business grows, it faces increased risk of disputes outside your home jurisdiction. How you handle them can have a significant impact on your financial performance and reputation.

Our Dispute Resolution Around the World online tool covers 36 countries and provides businesses engaged in international commerce with important information for effective dispute management, including:

 
  • An overview of the structure of the legal professional and court systems in different countries
  • The essentials of litigation, from commencement of proceedings to the disclosure of documents, and from appeals through how costs are apportioned between winning and losing parties
  • How judgments and awards are enforced, including recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments
  • Arbitral law and options for alternative dispute resolution
