Sands China recruits Alan Dershowitz for lawsuit appeal

Famed attorney Alan Dershowitz was recruited by Sands China Ltd. on Tuesday to argue that Nevada’s Supreme Court should dismiss a wrongful termination lawsuit filed by the company’s former CEO five years ago. Dershowitz and Sands China lawyer Steve Morris argued the company is registered in the Cayman Islands and does business in China, particularly the Asian gambling enclave of Macau, putting it outside the jurisdiction of a southern Nevada courtroom despite a district court’s ruling that the case can proceed against it in Nevada because of its connection to Las Vegas.
