When a company, public-sector undertaking, financial institution or other client becomes involved in litigation, arbitration or other legal proceedings in a foreign jurisdiction, effective management requires a coordinated legal strategy that connects the client’s objectives, the foreign proceedings and the wider commercial and legal implications of the matter.

Where a matter arises in the United States, United Kingdom, Singapore, Thailand or any other jurisdiction, we assist in identifying and coordinating with appropriate local counsel through our international professional network, and remain involved in the matter throughout its course.

Our involvement extends beyond coordination. We provide strategic and advisory input throughout the life of the matter, including assessment of legal options, procedural developments, jurisdictional considerations, litigation or arbitration strategy, settlement considerations and the broader implications of the foreign proceeding.

Where a matter involves related proceedings, contracts, transactions or regulatory issues in India or another jurisdiction, we consider these aspects as part of the overall strategy.

From the receipt of the first notice or commencement of proceedings, through pleadings, hearings, negotiations, arbitration, judgment or award and related enforcement issues, we seek to maintain a clear and coordinated legal strategy.

The client is not required to independently manage different legal teams across different jurisdictions, but instead has a single, coordinated point of strategic and legal oversight.
