Selected Representations and Cases:

• 10-day federal preliminary injunction hearing in NY federal court successfully defended against an injunction. Our client had been accused of misappropriating trade secrets in an advertising technology. A much larger company attempted to shutter our client’s business by stopping them from competing during the litigation. We prevailed, and the court did not enter an injunction.
• 2-day arbitration win on a construction case. The contractor tried to change the contract from a fixed-cost contract to a cost-plus contract to account for severe cost overruns and a significant underestimation.

In a case where a contractor did shoddy work then abandoned the project, we were brought on after the judgment to defend it on appeal.

We were able to recover the entire judgment for the homeowner.
