Foreign Litigation
attorneys coordinate and oversee the representation of the
U.S.
in foreign proceedings. Attorneys also represent the government in some domestic
cases involving questions of international and foreign law.
Examples
of our practice
In a case of first impression, a Canadian appellate court
affirmed a lower court ruling recognizing and enforcing a $4.6 million judgment
of a U.S. district court
based on the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability
Act (CERCLA). Separately, the U.S. recently recovered $3 million from bank accounts
in Antigua for the Federal Trade Commission
to provide restitution to victims of fraud resulting from an illegal pyramid
scheme operated over the Internet.
