US Steel and Nippon’s Lawsuit Seen as “Hail Mary” Attempt, Law360
January 09, 2025Partner David Plotinsky spoke with Law360 about the lawsuit brought by US Steel and Nippon Steel against the federal government in the wake of President Biden’s order to block Nippon Steel’s planned acquisition of US Steel.
David said that the complainants face an “uphill battle,” as the deference of the courts “always goes to the executive branch and to the president, in particular on national security cases . . . which just makes the deck stacked in the government’s favor.”
