International Business
Colleagues from Europe, Asia, Africa and South America, have asked for our assistance in resolving U.S.-based disputes. A few examples:
- For a Spanish motion picture distributor in a dispute over international distribution rights, we quickly resolved the dispute to ensure completion of movie production before the impending strike of a Hollywood union.
- For the Democratic Republic of the Congo, we defended against the garnishment of foreign-sourced royalty payments.
- For a German pharmaceutical supplier, we advised on ensuring compliance of testing protocols under United Nations mandates and international law.
- For a South Korean steel manufacturer, we recovered insurance payments compensating for transit damages on international shipments.
- For European investment firms based in the Channel Islands, we recovered losses incurred in an international technology start-up.
- For a Canadian provider of currency conversion software, we secured a favorable licensing agreement.
- For a Thai computer component manufacturer, we recovered from its buyers amounts owed on goods shipped.
- For a South Korean film distributor, we defended against claims in an American Film Marketing Association ("AFMA") arbitration.
