In 2025, it’s easier than ever to find amazing freelance talent across borders—graphic designers in Colombia, developers in India, marketing pros in the Philippines. But while working with international freelancers is great for your business, it also comes with real legal risks if you don’t set things up properly.
Here’s what you need to know before hiring a freelancer in a different country—to protect your money, your brand, and your peace of mind.
In 2025, social media is where most brands build visibility—and where scammers, competitors, and counterfeiters are waiting to piggyback off your success.
If someone is copying your brand on Instagram—using your logo, name, content, or pretending to be your business—don’t panic. There are clear legal steps you can take to document the infringement, get content removed, and protect your rights going forward.
Let’s walk through exactly what to do.
As global business becomes more interconnected, the need for efficient, expert, and enforceable dispute resolution across borders is greater than ever. While the United States has long led in commercial litigation infrastructure, three international hubs—Dubai, Singapore, and London—are rising (or maintaining dominance) as premier destinations for resolving cross-border business disputes.
This article explores how each of these jurisdictions is building a legal ecosystem that caters to multinational corporations, investors, and legal professionals seeking clarity, speed, and enforceability in commercial disputes.
The rise of business courts is reshaping how companies approach litigation in the U.S. and abroad. These courts provide efficiency, legal clarity, and access to judges who understand the complexities of business. As this model spreads globally, companies have more options than ever to resolve disputes fairly and effectively.
For legal teams, general counsel, and executives, knowing where these courts exist—and how to navigate them—could be the difference between drawn-out litigation and a streamlined resolution. In a world where time, cost, and certainty matter, business courts may be the new normal.
In 2025, artificial intelligence is doing more than writing emails and social media content—it’s now being used to draft legal contracts. With tools like ChatGPT, Harvey AI, and other legal tech platforms widely available, many startups, creators, and small businesses are turning to AI for quick and low-cost agreements.
But here’s the big question:
Should you trust AI to write your contracts—without a lawyer?
Let’s break down what AI can (and can’t) do, and what recent legal developments reveal about the risks.
