The firm recently won a complete dismissal of all claims against Brazilian contractor Odebrecht S.A. in a civil suit in Washington, D.C. seeking over $200 million in damages stemming from Odebrecht's participation in the massive Petrobras bribery scheme that has sent shockwaves through Brazil. A group of investment funds managed by EIG Management Co., LLC and certain affiliated funds had invested over $200 million in a Brazilian company, Sete, that Petrobras had created to extract oil in waters off the coast of Brazil. EIG contended that, as part of the massive Petrobras bribery scheme, Odebrecht and certain other Brazilian shipyards paid bribes to Sete to secure lucrative contracts to build drillships for the oil extraction. When this fact came to light, Sete went bankrupt, and EIG started looking for who it could sue.
