Business Litigation Example Cases

Product Liability Defense. We represented our client in the foundry industry. An explosion occurred in a plant in South Georgia leaving a worker seriously injured and in an induced coma for several months due to serious burns. We were able to demonstrate through our working knowledge of the equipment that the client's equipment was very likely not to be the cause of the explosion and such occurred through user error. This resulted in a substantial discounted settlement and contribution from other parties. -Top-

Preferential Transfers. There is no fury worse than the bankruptcy Trustee coming after a business for payments received prior to a company filing bankruptcy. Our client was targeted for litigation in a multi-million dollar bankruptcy in a demand for repayment of $300,000 paid to them prior to the bankruptcy being filed. We were able to demonstrate new value and negotiate a settlement with the Trustee for less than 10 cents on the dollar. -Top-

Employer Liability Defense. We have handled numerous cases involving allegations of discrimination and sexual harassment. We have been successful numerous times in having the case dismissed on summary judgment. This is a procedure where the court is required to review the facts and law after substantial discovery. We have been able to demonstrate on a number of cases that the claims should not proceed to a jury trial. -Top-

Manufacturer, Distributors and Manufacturers Representatives. We have been engaged in several cases filed between distributors against manufacturers. We have represented both the manufacturers and distributors as well as manufacturer representatives. These cases usually are resolved for pennies on the dollar in favor of our clients or we have won outright during litigation. We represent international and national manufacturers along with many distributors and representatives that have offices in Georgia. Most recently we were able to obtain a settlement against a manufacturer of behalf of a representative for in excess of $250,000. Through our efforts the settlement was very timely as the manufacturer later went bankrupt well after any time that a preferential transfer could be claimed. -Top-

Business Litigation-Lender Liability. We represented a developer against a national bank which caused the developer to lose a substantial sum of money when the bank refused to honor its line of credit.

The settlement was confidential and the names cannot be released. -Top-
