Breach of contract litigation provides opportunity for a “business solution” - two corporations negotiated an agreement. Then, one company decided the contract was not legally enforceable. We handled litigation, causing the reluctant party to honor the agreement. We then assisted the business people in achieving a mutually beneficial business solution.

Allegations of corporate wrongdoing. A law firm and several of its lawyers became embroiled with its client and a number of corporate officers as defendants in litigation involving securities law, allegations of accounting irregularities and corporate irresponsibility. We successfully guided the firm and its lawyers through several years of litigation in three different courts.
Chief Operating Officer. When a major merger did not work, a disappointed business went into bankruptcy and lawsuits were filed against the failed business, its officers, directors, accounting firms and others. We were able to obtain the dismissal of claims filed against the chief operating officer.
Failed investment fund. When an aggressive hedge fund failed, the investors sued the fund and its promoter. The litigation was then expanded to include the law firm and accountants. At its height, the litigation was pending in four courts in three states. Our clients have now been dismissed in all but one action.
Summary of recent cases handled for a commercial client. Of the last eight cases handled for a commercial client: Five cases were disposed of by motions for summary judgment or for dismissal; three cases were settled, one for no contribution from our client. In one of the two cases in which our client paid settlement monies, we were able to obtain a substantial contribution from the co-defendant. The only case which our client settled on its own involved very serious injury and substantial medical treatment and was settled for the amount of the plaintiff’s medical bills.
Representation of individuals. For the last 15 years, Mr. Reeves has represented an injured worker pro bono, shepherding him through numerous proceedings during which time he has had extensive treatment, and for whom the employer recently agreed to purchase a home suitable to the worker’s present and anticipated loss of mobility. Several years ago, Mr. Reeves represented a worker with a closed head injury, obtaining for him what was then one of the largest settlements of workers’ compensation benefits, providing the worker with permanent funding, through a special needs trust, for a Life Care Plan which assures funding for all his medical, supervised housing and vocational needs.
