ATTORNEYS DEFEND JACKSON COMPANY IN BUSINESS SUCCESSOR LIABILITY CASE

Our business client was sued by a creditor for over $75,000, alleging successor liability related to a previous company that had gone out of business. Attorney Brad A. Brelinski led the defense of the multi-count civil lawsuit in Jackson County Circuit Court. Although the facts made it challenging to defend, we strategically elected case evaluation and convinced the panel members that, despite the unfavorable facts, the law required the case be dismissed. The panel agreed, and awarded the plaintiff-creditor a nuisance value award. Shortly after, the case settled for 5% of the initial financial demand.
