Overview
On May 5, 2025, Law360 featured the Steptoe team representing client Exxon Mobil in an article titled, "Justices Want US' Input In Exxon's Cuba Seizure Case." The article discusses Exxon Mobil's petition seeking clarity from the US Supreme Court as to whether its lawsuit requesting compensation for property that was seized by the Cuban government decades ago must fall under an exception to sovereign immunity before it can proceed. Exxon Mobil's petition presents the question of whether the Helms-Burton Act automatically confers jurisdiction in such cases. The US Supreme Court has invited the US Solicitor General to file a brief in the case expressing the views of the United States.
The Steptoe team representing Exxon Mobil includes partners Steven Davidson, Shannen Coffin, Michael Baratz, and Michael Scavelli.
