Multi-Jurisdictional Litigation - Essentials For U.S Lawyers
The U.S. and Canada have the largest trading relationship of any two nations on earth. This leads to a concomitant amount of disputes, litigation and arbitration.
This program will deal with some of the most pervasive issues that arise during legal disputes which cross the borders between the U.S. and Canada from a Canadian perspective. We drill down on practical issues such as:
- where to commence litigation and why;
- how to oust Canadian jurisdiction where appropriate;
- how to obtain evidence in Canada for use in U.S. proceedings; and
- the impact of key Supreme Court of Canada decisions over the past 20 years on the enforcement of U.S. judgments in Canada.
Light lunch provided. If you have dietary restrictions, please plan to bring your own food.
