You really don’t want to have to learn a whole new area of law in order to satisfy procedural requirements in a single case.  The Hague Law Blog is here to make your life as a lawyer just a little bit easier, and hopefully, provide an entertaining look at an often inscrutable, seemingly dry area of the law: transnational litigation (a fancy name for issues that cross borders in a lawsuit).

Whether you’re a litigator or a transactional lawyer (in England, they’d say either a barrister or a solicitor), sooner or later you will run into a cross-border challenge—we promise.  Bankruptcy, divorce, criminal defense, adoption, probate, commercial, personal injury, insurance, tax… all of them eventually involve some party or issue in another country.

We aim to clear up misconceptions surrounding those challenges and make the governing doctrines of law a bit less murky by offering concrete practice tips.  The lion’s share of the issues we handle are covered by one of several Hague Conventions (there are more than just one), but we will cover non-Hague issues as well—challenges that aren’t mitigated by a treaty relationship.
