The Firm prevailed on one of two appeals before the Connecticut Appellate Court in a case brought by a major European bank seeking to impose individual liability on our client for a foreign judgment exceeding $300 million.  The bank’s appeal argued that the doctrine of collateral estoppel precluded our clients from relitigating issues allegedly decided in the foreign judgment.  The Appellate Court agreed with our arguments that it did not.  Charlie Pieterse, Thomas O’Connor, and Wyatt Jansen handled the matter.
