In a recent Law360 article, Ropes & Gray attorneys analyzed a recent decision by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit that denied rehearing en banc in an Alien Tort Statute (ATS) case, Doe v. Cisco. The case has been closely watched for its implications on the ATS.
The article analyzes the original opinion, denial of rehearing, potential outcomes if the case goes to the U.S. Supreme Court, and best practices for U.S. companies doing business with foreign governments.
