Cross-border disputes increasingly demand creative approaches to gathering evidence, with litigators needing to look beyond traditional letters of request

Writing in NLJ this week, Matthew Showler and Villasha Anbalagan of Trowers & Hamlins examine the expanding toolkit available, from US section 1782 applications and chapter 15 discovery to the UAE's DIFC and ADGM courts.

While letters of request remain important, the authors caution they should never be treated as a procedural formality and must be carefully tailored.

As international litigation becomes more complex, success depends on understanding the wider ecosystem of judicial assistance across multiple jurisdictions.
