• DAIMLER AG, Petitioner v. Barbara BAUMAN et al.

In recent terms, the U.S. Supreme Court has focused increasingly on business issues that fundamentally affect how corporations operate and litigate. Some commentators have called the Roberts Court “the most pro-business of any since the 1930s,” while others offer a more nuanced view. Either way, it is undisputed that the Supreme Court is deciding more business cases – and its decisions are affecting corporations to a greater degree.

McGuireWoods' appellate practice team discussed these issues with a distinguished panel that included the former solicitor general of Virginia and a former law clerk to Associate Justice Clarence Thomas.
