GLOBALitigation: USA is Kelley Drye's quarterly publication for international lawyers and managers of legal affairs that explores the unique challenges non-U.S. entities encounter when involved in U.S. litigation and government investigations. Our goal is to provide useful, practical and interesting information in articles that discuss trends and developments, explain U.S. procedures, and provide insights into the unwritten local customs found in courts throughout the U.S.

GLOBALitigation: USA V1 No. 4
The new year came with high expectations and optimism around the world. We share in this spirit and, despite the continuing economic uncertainty, we look forward to 2009 and the challenges it will bring. Although change is in the air, and there can be no certainty on what lies ahead, we expect that at least a few things will stay the same in U.S. courts: civil discovery burden, innovation by the plaintiff’s bar to bring ever more lawsuits, and the prosecution of corporate fraud. As always, Kelley Drye welcomes any comments, questions or suggestions on ways we can make this publication more useful. Please do not hesitate to contact us. And, of course, best wishes for 2009.

GLOBALitigation: USA V1 No. 3
In this third issue of GLOBALitigation: USA, we present several articles which focus on the legal risks of doing business in the United States and the steps that should be taken to reduce those risks. First, we discuss the significant scope — and far-reaching nature — of U.S. anti-money laundering statutes which require careful consideration when structuring financial affairs and relationships. Next, we discuss "piercing the corporate veil," a concept claimants in the U.S. courts often try to utilize to bring non-U.S. corporations into U.S. legal proceedings, and we discuss steps companies can take to minimize risks. Finally, we present a discussion on the increasing use of corporate monitors in resolving criminal cases brought by the U.S. Department of Justice against corporations, including the factors that must be considered wherever a monitor is part of a plea deal or deferred prosecution agreement.
