I congratulate the author for this outstanding contribution to the advancement of our discipline" - Symeon C. Symeonides, Dean and Alex L. Parks Distinguished Professor of Law, Willamette University, President, American Society of Comparative Law "Richard Fentiman is a leading thinker on cross-border litigation and has produced a masterly exposition on litigation risk in high value transactions and of the legal underpinnings of international dispute resolution - highly original and pioneering" - Philip R Wood QC (Hon), Allen & Overy LLP, London "No work currently on the market in the UK or
Europe comes close in presenting this highly complex area in a manner both scholarly and practically relevant. Richard Fentiman writes with remarkable clarity about a subject both conceptually difficult and laden with issues concerning choice and risk in a business context. Highly recommended both for practitioners and academics." - Professor Andrej Savin, Copenhagen Business School "Richard Fentiman has combined scholarly analysis and practicality in a formidable new work on international commercial litigation ... The insight guiding Richard Fentiman's excellent book is that parties to international commercial transactions need to know how private international law addresses the legal risks involved in their transactions ... The book will be of great value - to
practitioners and clients seeking to address these risks in advance of entering into transactions, and to those seeking to understand and resolve issues arising out of transactions already concluded. It is a pleasure to read and commend it and to congratulate Richard Fentiman on a very substantial achievement." - Lord Mance (From the Foreword) "The modern revolution in English Private International Law, wrought by the twin impacts of judge-made reforms in England and Community law reform in Europe, is lucidly and intelligently analysed by Richard Fentiman in his masterly new commentary International Commercial Litigation.
