The recent rapid increase in transnational commerciallitigation has made it even more necessary for lawyers tounderstand how claims are litigated in the courts of othercountries.

Yet, information on court procedure, the local legal profession, and localjudiciaries has not been readily available without specialist advice fromlocal lawyers. In general, this raises costs, and usually results in delays.

agreements. The title includes detailed explorations of matters relevant to allcommercial transactions, including choice of law, international jurisdictions,international contracts, and the recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments andawards. Also included are:

� Arbitration clauses� Basic concepts, strategies and techniques� Classifications� Consecutive stages of proceedings� Discovery� Forum selection� Jurisdiction clauses� Limitation periods� Obtaining evidence� Placing international commercial litigation in context� Pleading, proof, application and exclusion of foreign law� Special remedies� Substance and procedures
