European Based New York Law Consultant Services
New York is a jurisdiction that is known for respecting the wishes of the parties when it comes to interpreting a contract. For this reason, the words that make it into a contract are crucial to, not only the predicted results of any possible litigation arising from such a contract, but perhaps more importantly to ensuring that the contract is performed as expected by both parties and in a way that never leads to disputes.
One of the most important ways that your European team can utilize a New York Law Consultant is to assist you in understanding the precise legal meaning of words utilized in the contract based on earlier interpretations through an understanding of New York case law. Additionally, a New York Law Consultant who is a native English speaker can help you identify false cognates and unusual English words that a New York court may struggle to interpret. This can bring greater predictability to how the contract is interpreted by the parties and performed, potentially stopping expensive litigation before it is even contemplated.
Another way in which a New York Law Consultant can help your team is to save time and money in communication with your New York local counsel. Someone who has practiced New York law is well positioned to efficiently and effectively boost communication with a New York litigation team. This could reduce the number and duration of calls, letters, and meetings with a New York team that is likely to be on an hourly billing rate commensurate with the New York City market.
Finally, a New York Law consultant familiar with both New York and European legal culture can help smooth out communications and advocate effectively for a European client within the context of New York legal team’s expectations. New Yorkers can be aggressive and intimidating. Someone who is familiar with New York legal culture is well placed to understand what is and is not reasonable as well as what is and is not negotiable in establishing co-counselling agreements and ground rules with local counsel.
New York is a jurisdiction which has been purposefully designed to be commercial law friendly. First, unlike many jurisdictions, New York does not require that a contract have any relationship to the forum in order to utilize a choice of forum clause selecting New York’s Commercial Division.
Second, and perhaps most importantly, New York’s Commercial Division courts are designed for the needs of modern commerce. Many practitioners find that Commercial Division operates more like a United States District court whether it be the decorum and professionalism of the practitioners, or the heightened expectations of the judges with respect to how law is practiced. This keeps cases moving at a pace necessary for commercial matters in the 21st Century.
