International Litigation, Arbitration & Enforcement

Join Professor Ghirardelli's virtual Master Class:

Choosing where to litigate can matter more than who is right. This class walks through the strategic architecture of international dispute resolution, from drafting forum selection and arbitration clauses to deciding whether litigation or arbitration makes more sense in cross-border disputes. We will examine how courts treat jurisdictional clauses, how arbitration changes enforcement dynamics, and what actually happens when you try to enforce a foreign judgment or arbitral award abroad. The session is designed to give students a practical roadmap for structuring disputes that can be won—and enforced—in the real world.
