Cross-Border Disputes and Compliance
About the Committee
The Cross-Border Disputes and Compliance Committee (formerly DRI International)’s mission is to develop a global network of lawyers focused on the challenges and requirements faced by companies operating across different countries, including navigating
legal and regulatory frameworks, managing potential conflicts, and ensuring adherence to the laws of each jurisdiction involved. These areas are intertwined, as compliance with local laws and regulations is crucial for preventing disputes and facilitating
smooth cross-border operations.
Decisions made and actions taken in one part of the world significantly impact available choices and results elsewhere. It is therefore incumbent upon those companies operating across borders and the ever-increasing group of lawyers who serve such clients
to understand the implications of the internationalization of law and to be able to provide up-to-date and valuable insight and guidance. The Cross-Border Disputes and Compliance Committee provides a forum to bring together clients and in-house and
outside counsel from all around the world, allowing for the exchange of ideas regarding relevant and current substantive, regulatory and procedural issues that are and will impact multi-national companies wherever they are located around the world.
As part of that effort, the Cross-Border Disputes and Compliance Committee will participate along with the Law Institute in developing programs that deal with cross border disputes and compliance issues that have the greatest impact on multi-national
companies and their lawyers.
Participation in the Cross-Border Disputes and Compliance Committee is a must for each lawyer and firm who are involved in disputes and/or compliance issues that reach across borders, whether related to product liability, business litigation, regulatory
issues or otherwise, as well as those who recognize that the future of the practice of law as part of a global economy will require that they be ready to meet the needs of clients as part of their marketing and networking activities. All interested
DRI members are invited to participate as active members.
