A German corporation, through its American subsidiary, employed an executive and assigned him to its operations in Southeast Asia. When the employee lost his job through a reorganization, he sued the German company in federal court in the United States. Mr. Bernard filed a motion and brief on behalf of the German company, arguing that the U.S. court did not have jurisdiction over the German company. The court agreed, dismissing all claims against Mr. Bernard's clients.
