Oliver J. Armas, a partner with Chadbourne & Parke, and Thomas N. Pieper, an associate at the firm, write that with the country focused on the imminent inauguration of President Barack Obama, another historic event went practically unnoticed: the January 19th signing of the 2005 Hague Convention on Choice of Court Agreements.
