Foreign Litigation

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.
