May Foreign Companies Be Subpoenaed at the Offices of Their US Subsidiaries?

Dear Readers:

Foreign companies may be exposed to US discovery sought for use in litigation outside the United States. A recent federal court decision rejected an attempt to serve a subpoena for such discovery on a Chinese company at the Chicago offices of its wholly-owned subsidiary. A discussion can be found in the Legal Developments section of my general website. www.lexmarc.us

Regards.
