OVERVIEW
International disputes are increasingly multi-jurisdictional, even where the substantive litigation or arbitration might be proceeding in a single forum. English courts play a significant supporting role in this global disputes ecosystem through remedies and procedures that can assist proceedings being conducted elsewhere.
Join Quadrant Chambers and Squire Patton Boggs during London International Disputes Week for this panel session, which explores the circumstances in which English court support may be available for international litigation and arbitration, including freezing injunctions, anti-suit injunctions, evidence-gathering mechanisms (such as letters of request), modern search and imaging orders, and the enforcement of foreign judgments and arbitral awards.
Aimed at lawyers practising outside of England & Wales, the discussion will focus on practical strategy, coordination between jurisdictions, and how international practitioners can engage with their chosen English legal team and the Court when such support is needed.
