Case Study 1:

Resolving a High-Stakes Contract Dispute

The Challenge: A mid-sized manufacturing company faced a breach of contract claim from a supplier, alleging non-payment for delivered goods. The client disputed the claim, citing substandard materials that did not meet agreed specifications.

Our Solution:

  • Conducted a thorough review of the contract and supporting documents
  • Engaged industry experts to assess the quality of the materials delivered.
  • Represented the client in mediation, presenting compelling evidence of
    the supplier’s failure to meet contract terms.

Outcome: The case was resolved through mediation, with the supplier agreeing to a revised settlement that saved our client over $500,000 in potential damages.

Case Study 2:

Successful Defense in a Commercial Lease Dispute

The Challenge: A retail business owner was sued by their landlord for early termination of a commercial lease. The client argued that the termination was justified due to the landlord’s failure to address significant property maintenance issues.

Our Solution:

  • Collected evidence, including correspondence and property inspection reports, to demonstrate the landlord’s breach of lease obligations.
  • Filed a counterclaim for damages incurred by the client due to the unaddressed maintenance issues.
  • Negotiated aggressively during settlement discussions while preparing a strong case for trial.

Outcome: The case was settled favorably out of court, with the landlord agreeing to waive the early termination fee and compensate our client for business losses.
