The Firm successfully represented an elderly couple who were financially exploited by their daughter, who caused her elderly parents to execute documents transferring valuable business and commercial property to her, along with a remainder interest in her parent’s house. We sought over $4.4 million in damages and other relief. After we presented our case-in-chief at the final arbitration hearing, the daughter agreed to a favorable settlement in which she paid her parents $4,025,000 and rescinded an Asset Purchase Contract.
We prevailed in a FINRA arbitration for our client, who gave her financial advisor husband a power of attorney to trade in her brokerage account and he approved a series of risky and unsuitable investments, resulting in large financial losses. Notwithstanding her husband’s legal authority to act on her behalf, at arbitration we prevailed on our argument that the brokerage firm had an independent duty to ensure the investments were suitable for her and should have refused to execute the husband’s orders. Our client recovered all of her losses.
The Firm successfully defended our client in a suit brought by his former employer, a major accounting firm, seeking more than $3.5 million in damages for breach of a restrictive covenant in their employment agreement. We prevailed on arguments that the employer had no legitimate business interest in enforcing the covenant because it sold its practice to another accounting firm and that the employer committed the first material breach of the employment contract by refusing to pay the client his compensation under the agreement after he declined to sign a new, materially different employment agreement with the accounting firm that purchased the employer’s practice.
