Over the years I have handled many trade secret misappropriation matters for both plaintiffs and defendants. During the past three and a half years I defended a long-time client against a frivolous claim of trade secret misappropriation, breach of contract, fraud and related claims. After 9 days of arbitration over 14 months we won and my client was vindicated. The Plaintiff appealed and my client Cross Appealed to correct the judgment. On March 24, 2014 the Court of Appeal affirmed the judgment in our client's favor and remanded the matter, consistent with our Cross Appeal, to have a corrected judgment entered. Recently I handled a very complicated litigation matter concerning a claim by a third party to a portion of millions of dollars of profits distributed to various partners from the sale of certain real property. There were claims of fraud, fraud in the inducement, fraudulent concealment, interference with contract, RICO violations and other claims all pending in the United States District Court - Central District. After substantial litigation, both prior to the time our firm became involved in this matter and thereafter, voluminous discovery having been conducted, and over 100 thousand of pages of documents exchanged, the Court granted the Defendants motion for summary judgment in its entirety and against the Plaintiff on all claims. Needless to say my clients are very happy with the results. I recently resolved a partnership dispute with a client on a very favorable basis short of litigation. My client was very happy with the results and is in the process of starting his own business. We are looking forward to his new venture in the food business and can't wait for his products to hit the shelves.
