Trends

Proskauer's International Practice Group presents its “2008 Trends and Developments in International Legal Practice.” The Report covers five of the most significant Trends facing global businesses, focusing on the practical implications and best practices for dealing with these Trends:

• Increased litigation of international controversies in the United States.
• Increased use of alternative dispute resolution techniques other than in-court litigation and international arbitration.
• Increased risk faced by international companies of simultaneous, coordinated regulatory or enforcement proceedings in multiple countries.
• The continued (albeit lamented) “Americanization” of non-US legal systems.
• The ramifications of the subprime mortgage crisis and accompanying credit crunch in the context of the drafting, enforcement, and resolution of disputes over MAC clauses.
