Re: International Law

Access to the U.S. courts is not denied to anyone based upon citizenship. If the defendants are properly amenable to suit in NY, and the subject matter of the suit concerns and act or occurrence in NY (rather than Europe), then the forum should be proper. We can provide more specific advice if you contact us directly with particular facts.

Best wishes,
