Jurisdictional Insight
IN A "THINK GLOBAL, build local" business climate, companies are likely
to encounter all kinds of differences among national legal jurisdictions.
This is remarkably the case even in nations so similar to other another, like
the United States and Canada. International differences can become very
challenging — meaning expensive and time-consuming — when issues de-
volve into litigation.
This holds true in arbitration and mediation rooms as well as in court-
rooms. In the former, parties through their lawyers can to a degree have a
say in designing the rules by which they will resolve their disputes. Howev-
er, these rules will need to conform to their resident jurisdiction in several
respects. In all three of these rooms, dispute resolution or litigation will be
conducted according to that nation's legal ethical framework, and among a
legal Bar that tends to know one another. Having the most effective coun-
sel possible then, who are highly skilled and reputed in their nation's legal
system, is crucial to success.
The Lexpert-ranked lawyers noted in this Special Edition were selected
by way of peer Survey. Their peers in Canada recommend them, and on
that basis we encourage you to consider them. It may well save you time and
money to do so.
