Finding no jurisdictional tie to New York, a Manhattan federal judge Tuesday cut Japan-based Hitachi Metals Ltd. and two of its subsidiaries from investment banking firm Truenorth Capital Partners LLC's bid to collect a $6.8 million fee tied to Hitachi's 2014 purchase of Waupaca Foundry Inc. for $1.3 billion.
The Hitachi defendants are represented by commercial litigation partner Troy S. Brown.
