Civil Litigation Under the Antiterrorism Act: Recent Developments and What Companies Should Know

On July 9, Skadden hosted the webinar “Civil Litigation Under the Antiterrorism Act: Recent Developments and What Companies Should Know,” which covered the U.S. Antiterrorism Act of 1990 (ATA), as amended by the 2016 Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act. Panelists included global litigation/controversy head Ryan Junck and Washington, D.C. litigation partners Margaret Krawiec and Michael McIntosh and counsel Christopher Herlihy. The speakers examined the ATA’s key provisions, the factual and legal trends shaping current dockets and the ATA’s growing intersection with white collar enforcement, along with practical steps companies can take to assess and mitigate risk.
