Damages Awarded, All Claims Denied

Our client was one of two principal owners of a closely-held corporation in the building aggregates industry. Following the sale of the corporation on highly profitable terms, several lawsuits were filed alleging claims by our client against the other former owner for breach of fiduciary duty and alleging claims by the other former owner against our client for fraud and self-dealing. We tried the case before a jury for 90 days. The jury returned a verdict for our client for more than $2 million actual damages plus punitive damages and denied all the claims against our client.
