"They chose to file the lawsuit in the Federal District Court in Philadelphia; that's their home turf. We will file a motion to transfer the case to the federal court for the Western District in Pittsburgh, on the grounds that the core assets and the place of contract performance are both in Pittsburgh."
"The hearings and ruling on jurisdiction alone will buy us at least three months."

Bennett gestured toward the busy junior lawyers in the main hall.
"Once the case enters the discovery phase, we will issue massive document requests to the plaintiffs. We'll demand they provide business communication records, financial statements, and meeting minutes for all relevant members from the past ten years."
"At the same time, we will submit millions of pages of technical documents to the court regarding Pittsburgh's logistics history, river hydrology data, and global port operation models."
