Our international practice focuses on resolution of multi-jurisdictional disputes and on the application of U.S. law to overseas conduct. We have significant experience representing non-U.S. clients on U.S. antitrust issues and on the jurisdictional limits of U.S. law more generally. We also advise U.S. clients on the likely application of non-U.S. competition law, usually in conjunction with attorneys in the relevant forum. Our lawyers have represented several governments in private litigation in the U.S. and in writing amicus briefs to the U.S. Supreme Court and U.S. courts of appeals on pending antitrust and jurisdictional questions. We have also worked on international development projects in (pre-war) Ukraine, the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, and Mongolia.
We have a strong practice drafting and presenting amicus briefs to US courts of appeal and the US Supreme Court on behalf of governments, academics, trade associations, and other private parties. These briefs have addressed such divers matters as international jurisdiction and comity, trademark law, GATT, Foreign Sovereign Immunity, and the Alien Tort Statute.
With decades of experience with antitrust and trade practice investigations, we have also been engaged to provide strategic counsel and representation in a wide range of governmental investigations, many of which have an international dimension. Such matters require the establishment of proper investigational and reporting procedures, in order to preserve various privileges to the maximum extent possible and to protect those persons who may be adversely impacted by an unfounded allegation of wrongdoing. With a deep understanding of regulatory landscapes and investigative procedures and an appreciation of the nuances of the treatment of privilege around the world, we are well-equipped to handle complex inquiries.
We have worked on assisting countries in considering new legislation and implementing new laws in the antitrust, international trade, and banking fields. We have also advised Embassies in the US about the application of US law to extraterritorial conduct, enforcement priorities, and pending legislation.
We have been engaged in litigation and arbitration involving complex issues of international law, including Foreign Sovereign Immunity and the Alien Tort Statute, personal jurisdiction, and treaty interpretation.
