“. . . Olshan Frome Wolosky LLP has a global presence.”
The Legal 500 United States
Our lawyers represent clients nationally and internationally, working closely with firms outside of the United States on a regular basis either to assist a foreign client in the United States or serve an American client in foreign jurisdictions. Across the globe, Olshan provides comprehensive, practical and client-oriented solutions and delivers expertise in advertising law, bankruptcy and creditor’s rights, corporate and securities law, intellectual property law, litigation, real estate, tax and other business-related practices. We help clients resolve their most complex legal challenges regardless of location or size. Indeed, we have assisted companies of all sizes, and the matters we have handled vary in size from large projects for multinational corporations to small private ventures.
Olshan has an established network of correspondent law firms and is the New York member of Globalaw™ a network of over 100 independent law firms located in more than 85 countries and 165 cities. Additionally, firm attorneys have and continue to maintain existing, long-term relationships with attorneys and firms overseas on various intellectual property, corporate and other legal issues requiring transnational attention.
Olshan’s attorneys are nationally and internationally recognized by client and peer-reviewed rating groups such as Chambers USA, Martindale-Hubbell, Best Lawyers and Legal 500 U.S., global leading legal directories that publish annual rankings based on interviews with thousands of clients and peers. We embrace a diverse work environment, and our attorneys are multicultural with attorneys on staff who are fluent in Spanish, French, Russian, Mandarin, Hebrew, Albanian, Bambara, Polish, Arabic, Farsi, Afrikaans and Portuguese among other languages.
We have maintained a global practice for decades and, over time, have developed a sophisticated global network of foreign counsel, investigators, finance and real estate sources with whom we often enjoy deep, long-term relationships, with special emphasis on Europe (including Eastern Europe), Canada, Latin America, the Middle East and Asia. Our international clients come to us from numerous countries worldwide and span many industries including for example one of the world's largest international publishing firms, a leading French advertising agency, major French insurance companies, one of the largest fruit importers in Canada, a French pharmaceutical manufacturer, various German automotive parts and equipment suppliers, and various publicly traded Japanese companies.
The firm has substantial experience litigating international disputes given New York's central role in international commerce. Businesses often choose New York law to govern their contracts and, for significant contracts ($250,000 or more), can choose New York courts as the forum even if the parties are not based here. In addition, the firm appears before the International Centre of Dispute Resolution (ICDR) on behalf of domestic and international clients.
