Want to know how to register a French judgment in the English courts or where to issue proceedings against a defendant domiciled in Germany? Confused about the enforceability of Italian judgments against UK assets or the commercial implications of agreeing to foreign jurisdiction and governing law clauses?
Wragge & Co's six-lawyer International Support group provides solutions to complex international dispute resolution issues. Whether advising on jurisdiction and governing law, enforcing foreign judgments in the UK or dealing with letters of request for taking evidence in foreign jurisdictions, clients benefit from the team's timely and commercially sound advice.
As well as advising clients directly, the team supports the firm's non-contentious and dispute resolution lawyers. Whatever the matter, clients are assured by the group's knowledge and experience of the relevant rules and conventions that affect international litigation.
The group has access to a network of leading law firms in other jurisdictions. It turns to them for "local" advice where necessary to provide clients with a complete and seamless service. What's more, its lawyers have not only advised on problems on a "what if" basis, they have actually dealt with real practical problems and found solutions for them.
A track record includes gathering evidence in the UK for proceedings in Argentina's largest commercial litigation case. The group assisted Argentinean lawyers in obtaining oral and documentary evidence from banks in the UK. Using the Hague Convention, its lawyers' knowledge and experience helped to counter witnesses' attempts to avoid providing evidence.
The group is supported by Wragge & Co's expert arbitration lawyers, who have been there, done it and can drive proceedings to create the best outcome for clients. Through arbitration, clients benefit from greater flexibility when seeking to enforce awards abroad. The firm's global network of contacts also helps it to identify the best arbitrators and operators in the area.
Clients including British Airways, Chase Midlands, E.ON UK and QinetiQ plc, commend the group's "high-quality, efficient and friendly" manner.
