Foreign Litigation Support

We assist foreign counsel and clients navigating U.S. legal processes — including evidence collection, document production, and proceedings under 28 U.S.C. § 1782.

Cross-border disputes and investigations increasingly require coordinated engagement with the U.S. legal system. We assist foreign counsel, foreign parties, and U.S.-based clients with international legal exposure to navigate U.S. procedures efficiently and effectively.

Our experience includes proceedings under 28 U.S.C. § 1782, which allows parties to foreign proceedings to obtain evidence located in the United States. We guide clients through the application process, advise on the scope of discovery available, and manage the full lifecycle of U.S.-based evidence collection in support of foreign litigation and arbitration.

What We Do

  • Advise foreign counsel and parties on U.S. discovery options, including § 1782 proceedings
  • Prepare and prosecute § 1782 applications in U.S. district courts, including in the Northern District of California
  • Manage document collection, review, and production in support of foreign litigation and international arbitration
  • Coordinate with foreign counsel to align U.S. proceedings with foreign procedural requirements
  • Support U.S.-based clients with international legal exposure, including in matters involving FCPA, trade compliance, and transnational commercial disputes
