Telling Courts “No”: Personal Jurisdiction Defenses in High-Stakes Litigation

Join Hurwitz Fine’s Child Victims Act & Sexual Misconduct Coverage & Defense Team—Michael J. Williams and Jeremiah E. Lenihan—for a webinar exploring one of the most critical defenses available to clients with national and international reach: general and specific personal jurisdiction.

The Supreme Court of the United States has spent the last 15 years evolving these doctrines in a manner respecting defendants’ due process rights while state case law myopically focuses on its own long-arm statutes. This discussion explores how Mike and Jerry have used these doctrines nationally and internationally to defend nonprofit organizations, religious institutions, retail giants, and foreign corporations including those of sovereign Native nations. Attendees will learn how to identify their opportunities to raise this surprisingly expansive defense, compel plaintiffs to proceed in a chosen and more defense-advantageous venue, avoid the costs and disclosures of discovery, and incentivize dismissal or economical resolution.
