New York Court of Appeals Grants Leave to Appeal in Dispute Involving Brazilian Energy Company

On November 22, 2011, the New York Court of Appeals granted the firm's motion seeking leave to appeal a unanimous decision of the New York Appellate Division, First Department, filed on behalf of our client, a Brazilian energy company.  The case involves our client’s supposed guarantee of a loan granted by an indirect subsidiary.  

The Court of Appeals will hear our argument on the choice of law provision in the guarantee, which we have argued requires the New York courts to apply Brazilian law to this case.
