Kohler Company v. United States of America

Cambridge Finance Partners was hired by attorneys for the United States. We assisted the governments testifying experts, and provided analysis related to the value of restricted foreign currency and soverign debt. The case issues arose from various dimensions of failed Mexican macroeconomic policy during the 1980s. Seeking increased foreign investment and concerned about its growing debt, the Mexican government engaged in a policy of accepting its own debt from foreign firms in exchange for a significantly more valuable peso account. In return for receiving the more valuable peso account, firms would agree to certain restrictions on the account, and in particular the the pesos must be spent in Mexico and not exchanged for foreign currency.
