On August 10, 2021, Wilson Sonsini represented Hebei Welcome Pharmaceutical and North China Pharmaceutical Group (NCPG) in the closely watched case concerning vitamin C exported from China. The firm successfully persuaded the Second Circuit to overturn a $150 million judgment against Hebei and NCPG.

When the U.S. Supreme Court later granted cert to hear the appeal, Wilson Sonsini filed the respondents’ brief and argued before the Court. After remand to the Second Circuit, the court agreed with the firm, again reversed the district court, and ordered the case dismissed.

Wilson Sonsini's team that represented Hebei Welcome Pharmaceutical and NCPG included partners Jonathan Jacobson and Brad Tennis. Former counsel Daniel Weick and Justin Cohen also played a substantial role in the matter.
