    Surveying the Application of 'Daimler' in the Circuits

    Stephen Baldini, Anthony Pierce and Stanley Woodward of Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld write: The watershed decision in 'Daimler' reversed the notion that companies with substantial sales throughout the United States can be sued anywhere. While it has been nearly two years since the decision, there have been notably few challenges to the exercise of general personal jurisdiction in the U.S. federal circuit courts. Those courts that have addressed the issue, however, highlight who the beneficiaries of 'Daimler' are: non-U.S. entities, entities sued in inconvenient forums, and, potentially, entities whose websites are accessible in many jurisdictions.

    Second Circuit Guidance on Pleading Title VII Claims Under 'Iqbal'

    Stephen Bergstein writes that piece by piece, the Second Circuit has issued rulings detailing how to plead various civil claims after the U.S. Supreme Court in 'Ashcroft v. Iqbal' revised the federal pleading requirements. In 2013, the Second Circuit issued a series of decisions addressing plausibility pleading under the FLSA. It has now done so for discrimination claims under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
