Forum shopping: strategy or abuse? A strategic tool in international litigation
Marlen Estévez, partner and head of the Litigation, Arbitration, and Mediation Department at RocaJunyent, along with Carmen Alba, associate in the same department, have published a notable article in the International Bar Association's newsletter.
The article delves into how choosing the right forum has become a crucial strategic decision in resolving international commercial disputes.
The article examines how forum shopping allows plaintiffs to choose jurisdictions with favorable legislation and procedural advantages, highlighting the speed of Singapore and Hong Kong in resolving disputes. It also addresses ethical concerns and regulatory efforts to prevent abuses, such as the Brussels I Regulation and the 2019 Hague Convention, which seek a fairer approach to international litigation.
This analysis is key to understanding current trends and how jurisdictions are adapting to provide a more efficient and predictable legal framework. The collaboration between Estévez and Alba reflects RocaJunyent's commitment to detailed analysis and understanding of emerging trends in the global legal field, offering a unique perspective on the implications and benefits of forum shopping in the current context.
