Here is what we have achieved for our clients recently:
- In a complex matter before a federal court, we obtained a judgment against one of the largest nation-wide franchisors and successfully argued to confirm the franchisor's breach before the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit.
- We secured a multi-million-dollar buyout of a minority shareholder’s interest after the majority shareholder attempted a freeze out.
- In a multi-state arbitration in which the franchisor sought more than $400,000 in damages and our client did not retain us until after a dispositive motion had already been filed against him, we raised numerous defenses and successfully negotiated for the franchisee's exit from the franchise system, paying only a nominal termination fee.
- In a partners' dispute, in which the majority partner abused his position to assign our client's interest in the business to himself, we obtained an arbitration award nullifying the attempted transfer of interest, defeated the partner's counterclaims against our client, and defeated an attempt to vacate the arbitration award in the courts.
- We obtained a favorable settlement in a wrongful termination action involving a corporate officer and director.
- In an arbitration in which a franchisee attempted to rescind its franchise agreement and made claims to recover its franchise fee and many years of royalties and other payments, we raised significant counterclaims and negotiated a resolution in which the claimant franchisee paid our client a six-figure settlement to exit the system.
- We successfully defended against claims for attorney's fees and costs that would likely have exceeded $2,000,000 in a complex case between a franchisor and franchisee.
- We helped our clients convert a small business into a strong and growing franchise system that now has approximately 30 locations in four states.
- We negotiated our client's exit from a franchise system with a settlement that permitted our client to remain in business under a new name.
- We protected a minority shareholder / corporate director’s seat on the board from an attempt by the majority shareholder to remove him from the company.
- We helped our client obtain a favorable price and clean title in the complex purchase of an occupied, multi-unit commercial property in foreclosure.
