She litigates a wide range of transnational claims arising from breaches of contract and fiduciary duty, fraud, defamation, and tortious business practices, both at the trial and appellate levels, nationwide. Tara’s practice includes obtaining recognition of foreign arbitral awards and judgments to facilitate asset recovery efforts. Her expertise extends to conducting post-judgment discovery and initiating discovery actions under 28 U.S.C. § 1782 to gather evidence for use in foreign proceedings, an area of law in which she has achieved precedent-setting results expanding the permissible uses of discovery obtained under the statute. Tara also represents investors and companies against abuses by private equity fund managers, and brought the first U.S. lawsuit on behalf of an investor seeking damages for self-dealing in a continuation fund transaction. Tara also advises international clients on treaty application and interpretation, jurisdictional matters, and US litigation strategies.
