- stating that Perkins “remains the ‘textbook case of general jurisdiction appropriately exercised over a foreign corporation that has not consented to suit in the forum’”
- stating that general jurisdiction over LLC existed in the state in which its “physical corporate operations are domiciled”
- explaining that it is “incredibly difficult to establish general jurisdiction in a forum other than the place of incorporation or principal place of business”
