Washington DC Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act (FSIA) Lawyers

Signed into law by President Gerald Ford in 1976, the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act (FSIA) establishes specific limitations regarding whether a foreign nation can be sued in state or federal U.S. courts. It also sets forth rules and proceedings in bringing such a lawsuit, serving the nation or its agency, and executing judgments.

Originally, the FSIA did not provide a means for victims of state-sponsored terrorism to sue foreign governments for their involvement in supporting terrorists or their actions. Thomas Fortune Fay pioneered the movement to initiate legislative changes that now provide exceptions to the FSIA and specific proceedings to allow victims of terrorism to hold at-fault governments and their agencies or agents accountable for funding or otherwise aiding terrorist groups. Today, victims and families can count on the Washington DC FSIA lawyers at Fay Law Group to assert their right to compensation. We stop at nothing to pursue justice for the injured and wronged -- even when it means holding a foreign government responsible.
