Business Litigation Results
The Firm obtained a very successful result on behalf of our client, a well known business with locations throughout Illinois and Indiana in a shareholder dispute. The plaintiff sued our client, and demanded more $2.5 Million just before arbitration based upon claims of ownership in the company and its intellectual property. The Plaintiff also claimed he was owed money for wrongful termination. The result of the arbitration was a complete defense verdict in favor of the Firm’s client and an award of $0. Erin Showerman was the lead attorney representing the Client.
The Firm continues to work with our lending clients and national businesses, helping them in their acquisition and financing needs. This past month the Firm’s Jinah Hong documented more than $20,000,000 in loans for our Clients, including for a national chain of fitness locations, a new suburban industrial center, and the expansion of a chain of rental properties in Chicago.
The Firm is pleased to have successfully completed all project documents for the new $5,000,000 buildout of a what has been a widely reported cloud-based kitchen concept, which is being made famous by its new owner, the former CEO of Uber. The Firm’s Jinah Hong represents the General Contractor for the entire project and documented all the construction documents.
