The Challenge
This case was challenging because not only did HKH represent the defendant, the overall timeline was elongated due to it being in pending litigation stemming from pending litigation.
Legal Strategy
HKH represented Huge American Real Estate, the defendant, in this case after it had already gone from bankruptcy to pending litigation. The plaintiff, Fritz Management, sued HKH and demanded over $4 Million in damages. After years of working the case, HKH was able to build a compelling argument that resulted in not only zeroing out the plaintiff’s suit, but additionally securing a $1.8M victory for the defendant.
Results
After award of summary judgment by the Court and a jury trial, the result was a take no judgment on the plaintiff’s claims, and the defendant was awarded almost $1.8 Million. A solid victory for the firm.
