Commercial Litigation

Obtained motion for summary judgment in commercial litigation case involving concealment of assets, fraudulent transfers, and other improper conduct. After written discovery and several depositions, the trial court granted summary judgment in favor of our clients, as well as other defendants. The trial court subsequently awarded the reimbursement of attorneys’ fees in the amount of $25,000 to our clients after finding that Plaintiff’s continued prosecution of the claims (after the completion of discovery) was frivolous. 

Obtained a defense verdict in favor of individual business owner and two businesses who were being pursued for breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, fraud, among other claims, by Plaintiffs who were seeking nearly $2.0 million in damages. 

Plaintiffs filed a lawsuit against our safety compliance consultant client, alleging intentional spoliation of evidence in connection with a workplace injury and workers’ compensation claim. We successfully argued that the consultant acted properly under applicable Iowa law and that Iowa does not recognize a claim for intentional spoliation, and obtained complete dismissal of all claims through a motion to dismiss.
