The firm’s client was an Arkansas corporation that was sued in Los Angeles for various business torts that allegedly occurred in Arkansas. The firm successfully obtained a dismissal of the lawsuit by establishing that its client was not subject to California’s jurisdiction because of its limited contacts to California and the foreign nature of the plaintiff’s claims. The lawsuit was dismissed at little cost and inconvenience to the firm’s client. The litigation has not been pursued by the plaintiff in a different jurisdiction.
