Business Litigation (Breach of Contract and Business Torts)

---

The client was the manager/member and salaried employee of a three-manager limited liability company. The company also had an agreement to lease real property belonging to the client. A falling out of the parties occurred when the other two managers orchestrated the termination of the client’s employment agreement, had the client removed as a manager, and had the company dishonor the client’s lease. The Firm brought a lawsuit on behalf of the client asserting, among other things, claims for breach of contract, inducing breach of contract, wrongful interference with contractual relationship and breach of fiduciary duty. After the Firm prevailed on several motions brought during the pendency of the litigation, the matter was settled with the defendants agreeing to pay client for all back salary and attorney’s fees (plus interest) and salary on a going forward basis. The entire payment plan was backed up by a very substantial stipulation for entry of judgment.
