Lieff Cabraser's International Civil & Human
Rights
Litigation Practice Area
International
Litigation
Lieff Cabraser has been at the forefront of recent litigation filed in
both United States courts and abroad to remedy the abuses of civil and human
rights or provide recovery for economic losses by persons worldwide.
For several years, we have represented the estates of Holocaust
victims, survivors and family members in cases against Swiss and other
European banks, European insurance companies, and European industrial companies
that used concentration camp inmates as slave laborers.
As part of this effort, we served on the Plaintiffs' Executive
Committee that prosecuted and settled the case against Swiss banks. We were also
instrumental in prosecuting Holocaust-era cases against German private enterprise
for using slave and forced labor, and against German (and other) banks and financial
institutions for "aryanizing" the property of victims of Nazi persecution.
Together, settlements in these cases have totaled over $6.3 billion.
