How to Enforce a Foreign Arbitration Award

How to Enforce a Foreign Arbitration Award: Boyer Law Firm knows how difficult it can be to receive a favorable arbitration award. We also understand that having such an award enforced can be a troublesome process. There are a number of Conventions, Acts and treaties that may apply to the enforcement of such awards.

Know How to Enforce a Foreign Arbitration Award

In the U.S. alone, when attempting to have a foreign arbitration award enforced, the Panama Convention, the New York Convention, and U.S. domestic law under the Federal Arbitration Act may all apply. In most instances, the Conventions are controlling, however, in some cases they may conflict with one another. For example, some countries that are a party to one Convention may not be a party to the other Convention, thus creating a conflict between the applicable Conventions. There may also bilateral or multilateral treaties that are also applicable depending on the parties to the arbitration. In such a case, the knowledge and experience of a seasoned attorney is necessary to pursue the enforcement of your award.

It can be just as tricky enforcing a U.S. Arbitral Award in another country. The same or different Conventions, Acts and treaties may apply. Boyer Law Firm has knowledge and experience in fighting to have arbitration awards enforced, in the U.S. and abroad. Contact us today with any further questions we will be happy to assist you in this process.

Great Foreign Investments in the US and Florida

Great Foreign Investments in the US and Florida: A foreign investor in the United States enjoys the same flexibility in financial arrangements as U.S. citizens:

• There is no need to obtain formal approval from governmental authorities to set up a company.
• Foreign exchange controls are generally absent.
• The foreign-owned company may freely transfer U.S. profits abroad, and its owners may freely repatriate their investment.

What is an Investor Visa?

The E Investor Visa allows an individual to carry on their business in the United States if the home country has a commercial treaty with the United States conferring such eligibility. This visa must be renewed every so many years but here is no limit to how many times one can renew.

An investor must contribute to the US economy. The dollar amount of cash investment normally should exceed $50,000 depending on the type of business although Boyer Law Firm cases have been made successful in getting visas as low as $12,000.

Do my relatives get an investor visa?
Spouses and unmarried children under 21 years of age, regardless of nationality, may receive derivative E-2 visas in order to accompany the principal alien. The spouse of the E2 holder can also apply for employment authorization.

It is important to hire an experienced lawyer when handling your investor visa package. At Boyer Law Firm we have helped many clients obtain investor visas. Please do not hesitate to contact us with your matter as we will be happy to help.

Northeast Florida Foreign Trade Zone Expanded

Northeast Florida Foreign Trade Zone Expanded: “JaxPort on Wednesday announced the U.S. Department of Commerce and its Foreign Trade Zone Board approved the port authority’s application for a zone that covers Duval, Nassau, Clay, Baker and Columbia counties.
Deborah Lofberg, who oversees the foreign trade zone for JaxPort stated that “the designation is based on showing an industrial site is served by a solid transportation network that can attract a cluster of businesses that import goods.”

Business located in foreign trade zones can either eliminate or defer the custom duties levied when goods are imported into the U.S. The foreign trade zones are aimed at convincing manufacturers and distributors to put their operations in the U.S. rather than overseas.

Here at Boyer Law Firm we have handled many business cases dealing with imports and exports. This trade zone expansion may benefit or even appeal to many businesses. At Boyer Law Firm we will be happy to help you with any issues you have with your business.  Please contact us if you have any further questions.

Boyer Law Wins $4.8 M Judgment Reversal on Appeal

In a case with international “flavor”, I argued that a $4.8 million dollars judgment entered against my clients was improper. My clients were living in France and were at that stage not defending the lawsuit.

My clients were notified by regular mail of the final hearing to introduce evidence to determine the amount of damages that they would have to pay. However, the plaintiff mailed the notice only 10 days ahead of the hearing. Obviously, my clients did not receive the notice by mail until after the judgment was entered after the hearing.

The mail between the U.S. and Europe is still unreliable. It still gets lost. At any rate, when and if it arrives, it takes between 3 to 6 weeks.

I was hired to conduct the Appeal. I am glad that the three judges on the Court of Appeals all agreed on my theory of the case.

If you need any help on a similar matter, please contact a Florida attorney at Boyer Law Firm. You only have 30 days to file for a Notice of Appeal.
