The lawyers of Berman Fink Van Horn P.C. can assist international litigants in obtaining evidence in the United States for use before non-U.S. tribunals and enforcing non-U.S. judgments in American courts. 

28 U.S.C. § 1782 is a federal statute that allows a litigant to a legal proceeding outside the United States to apply to an American court to obtain documentary evidence or testimonial evidence for use in a non-U.S. proceeding.  Based on a fairly recent United States Supreme Court ruling, § 1782 discovery is available to a non-U.S. litigant almost as freely as discovery is available in connection with a lawsuit that is pending entirely before a court in the United States.  The lawyers of Berman Fink Van Horn P.C. represent non-U.S. entities in § 1782 applications and generally in discovery related matters.

In addition, the State of Georgia has adopted the Georgia Foreign Money Judgment Recognition Act for the enforcement of money judgments rendered outside of the United States.  The lawyers of Berman Fink Van Horn P.C. can assist international clients in enforcing non-U.S. judgments in the State of Georgia and in determining the likelihood of enforceability in Georgia of a future judgment by a non-U.S. court.
