International Discovery in the United States

Derek J. Soltis

Derek J. Soltis is a New York attorney with over two decades of Fortune 500 management and litigation experience, now focused on cross-border discovery and international legal proceedings. A graduate of Rutgers Law School with an MBA and MS from Fordham University, Derek brings a rare combination of business acumen and procedural precision to §1782 matters — understanding not just the law, but the commercial stakes driving every international dispute.

Recognized as a New York Super Lawyers Rising Star , Derek has built deep expertise in civil litigation, eDiscovery, and legal technology — competencies that translate directly to the document-intensive, technically complex demands of international discovery practice. His background in bankruptcy and complex commercial litigation gives foreign clients a counsel who understands how evidence fits into the broader strategic picture of their proceedings.

Besides local clients Derek works with foreign law firms, international arbitration parties, and multinational corporations who need a U.S. attorney who can move fast, communicate clearly across time zones, and deliver results in federal court. Admitted to the New York State Bar and the United States District Courts for the Southern District of New York and Eastern District of New York — two of the most active federal courts for §1782 applications in the country — Derek is positioned to move quickly when your matter demands it.
