Heath Steinbeck obtained a dismissal of all claims brought out client, an investor based in Europe, in a lawsuit arising out of a $25 million joint venture in diamonds and other rare jewels. The collection includes the world’s largest naturally-occurring vivid blue diamond. Following briefing and oral argument before the Commercial Division of the Supreme Court for the County of New York, and despite 21 prior transaction in New York amounting to more than $40 million, we succeeded in persuading the court to dismiss the case on grounds of lack of personal jurisdiction over our client.
