IN THIS TIME when your clients face storms or turmoil in their businesses, they
may occur halfway around the world. When they do, and if they turn legal, you
retain foreign counsel. If those events occur in Canada, it would be easy enough
to think that you are close to home and need not worry about jurisdictional dif-
ferences: in other words, you can take it from here.
It is true that you are with neighbors and our systems are very, very similar.
But on the edges of our legal systems there are differences that can significantly
affect your clients. Isn't it on the edges where litigation lawyers make the differ-
ence? For example, many legal disputes are presently heard in dispute resolution
forums that are confidential, particularly mediation and arbitration. We believe
that word of who is the most effective counsel in those forums is reflected in our
peer Surveys while confidentiality is kept intact.
Storms do not generally make for smooth sailing. That's why we encourage you
to retain Canadian counsel for matters that affect your clients' Canadian inter-
ests. In this Lexpert® Guide to the Leading US/Canada Cross-border Litigation
Lawyers, we provide information on lawyers ranked in a range of litigation prac-
tice areas. If the names of these practice areas sound slightly different than you
are accustomed to at home, please let us know. We would be pleased to translate.
