Foremost-McKesson v. Iran
McKesson Corporation
Winston & Strawn obtained an appellate victory for McKesson Corporation in what may be the longest and most procedurally complex international dispute ever to wind its way through the federal courts. In 1986 McKesson prevailed in arbitration stemming from the indirect expropriation of its investment in the largest private dairy company in Iran and collected on all of its claims except the largest. Twenty-six years later, after six appeals by Iran, and several unsuccessful Iranian requests for review by the Supreme Court, McKesson has won its remaining expropriation claim, receiving $11.2 million in attorneys' fees on top of the $30 million damages award.
