Our clients include global companies, individuals, and foreign sovereigns and state-owned enterprises seeking representation in cross-border matters.
In the United States, we regularly litigate complex disputes for clients who are based abroad as well as claims based on U.S. clients’ foreign contracts or projects. We are experts in the complex and evolving set of issues that these cases often present, including choice of law, the extraterritorial scope of U.S. law, personal jurisdiction, corporate separateness, foreign sovereign immunity, enforcement of foreign awards and judgments, and cross-border discovery. And we have significant experience litigating cross-border claims of all kinds, from contract and tort disputes to RICO actions, TVPRA and ATA claims, intellectual property claims, antitrust cases, and securities actions.
Our team also excels at complex multi-jurisdictional disputes, including managing parallel litigations in multiple forums and/or related litigations, investigations, prosecutions, and arbitrations. With offices in London, Paris, Frankfurt, Luxembourg, Shanghai, and Hong Kong, in addition to New York, Washington, D.C., and San Francisco, and close ties to local counsel across the globe, our lawyers offer a seamless and efficient world-class litigation service to its clients.
Debevoise lawyers are highly collaborative, and clients benefit from lean, intensely focused teams with the right subject matter expertise for each particular case. Partners work closely with clients at every phase of a dispute to get to the right business answer and the best possible result.
