International Dispute Resolution

Washington D.C.-based International Dispute Resolution partner, Stuart H. Newberger, is quoted in the Wall Street Journal discussing Iran's refusal to pay billions of dollars in compensatory damages that were awarded to terrorism victims by U.S. courts. While there were no discussions of terrorism victims during the nuclear talks, Newberger remarks that in order to have "a rapprochement with Iran, the terrorism sanctions and judgments have to be dealt with one way or another."

Washington, D.C.-based International Dispute Resolution partner Stuart Newberger, who represents families of terror victims, is featured in an American Lawyer article discussing expected settlement amounts with Iran. Newberger remarks that he expects the grand total of damages assessed by U.S. courts against Iran for acts of terror to exceed $45 billion. Although he notes that there are a few scenarios for settling the outstanding Iran terror judgments and cutting damages and interest to lower the amounts, Newberger says that such a diplomatic formula would be inappropriate since most judgments have been finalized against Iran.
