Strategic counsel for cross-border disputes, international arbitration, and the enforcement of awards and judgments.
Mandelbaum Barrett PC’s International Disputes and Enforcement team advises clients on international arbitration, cross-border litigation and bankruptcies, investigations, emergency relief, and enforcement strategy across jurisdictions.
Cross-border business disputes often require coordination across arbitral tribunals, courts and enforcement venues. We help clients assess risk, respond to urgent issues, manage proceedings, and pursue enforcement outcomes.
Our practice also focuses on matters involving the U.S.–India business corridor, where clients benefit from experience with the legal and commercial context in both jurisdictions. This positioning is supported by dual U.S.–India qualification, substantial cross-border practice experience, and the firm’s India-focused strategy.

- International arbitration under ad hoc and institutional frameworks such as the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC), JAMS, and International Centre for Dispute Resolution (ICDR)
- Cross-border disputes counseling and management

- Recognition and enforcement of foreign arbitral awards and judgments under the New York Convention

Cross-border fluency. Coordinated enforcement. Practical strategy.
Clients turn to Mandelbaum Barrett PC for international disputes when they need counsel with experience across arbitration, litigation, cross-border insolvency, enforcement, and parallel proceedings in multiple jurisdictions.
The practice is led by lawyers with experience handling disputes across the United States and India, including arbitrations, litigation, investigations, bankruptcy, and enforcement actions. That bicontinental perspective is especially valuable in matters tied to the U.S.–India corridor, where clients benefit from legal, cultural, and commercial fluency on both sides.
U.S.–India Corridor Focus
A differentiated platform for disputes involving India and the United States
A substantial part of this practice is dedicated to disputes, enforcement issues, and strategic advisory matters involving India-related businesses, investors, and counterparties.

This is particularly relevant for:
- Indian companies entering or operating in the U.S.
- U.S. companies investing in or contracting with India-based counterparties
- Investors, founders, and institutions facing disputes across both jurisdictions
- Parties seeking to enforce awards or judgments against assets in multiple forums
