LEGAL NEWS: TRENDING TOPICS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT

The period since July of this year has been noteworthy with respect to Second Circuit law on the procedures governing enforcement of ICSID awards against foreign sovereigns in U.S. District Courts. As previously noted, the Second Circuit in July 2017 held, in Mobil Cerro Negro, Ltd. v. Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, 863 F.3d 96 (2d. Cir. 2017), (“Mobil Cerro”), that the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act (“FSIA”) requires a creditor plaintiff seeking to enforce such an award against a foreign sovereign to commence a full plenary action (not institute ex parte or summary proceedings) and abide by the personal jurisdiction, venue, and service requirements of that legislation.

Many times when people hear a firm and its attorneys provide a bankruptcy practice they think of something equivalent to the undertakers of the legal world. That is, a practice focused on the "burial" of financially strapped businesses and/or individuals and something equivalent to a potentially necessary evil that one hopes to never have to prevail upon. This is an understandable misunderstanding since news reports regarding bankruptcy tend to focus solely on a company's or individual's actual bankruptcy filing. "Bankruptcy," however, encompasses much, much more than just representing a potential corporate or individual debtor seeking to file for protection pursuant to Chapter 7, 11, 13 or 15 of the Bankruptcy Code.
So, you’re not a studio big-wig. Or a major media executive. Maybe you don’t work in a high-profile position for a major corporation. You should be safe from being accused of sexual harassment in your office – right? Ah, were it only so simple!
