BUSINESS LITIGATION
The Law Offices of David Grossack has significant
experience in litigating complex disputes between
companies, and investors and companies. For example,
we were instrumental recently in helping a business
owner in recovering payment he was entitled to for
sale of a corporation when the purchaser failed to
make payments.
Our experience also includes aggressive use of a
technique known as “piercing the
corporate veil.” When a company goes out of
business, or appears not to have sufficient assets
to meet its obligations, sometimes it is possible to
hold officers, directors or shareholders responsible
for the corporate debts. Our office has had
significant success in litigating under this theory.
We also handle business “torts” (or wrongful acts
by one company to another). Defamation of companies
and key personnel, fraud, franchise disputes,
conversion of assets and similar kinds of situations
are familiar areas to us. For example, in one case
we defended a
salesman who left a company to start his own
business took a customer list with him and competed
with his former employer.
A number of other claims and counterclaims ensued
and ultimately the matter was resolved to the
satisfaction of our client. In another matter, this
office represented a company which invested in a
technological process which a promoter had
misrepresented. Disputes between franchisors and
franchisees and disputes between franchisors and the
Federal Trade Commission have also been handled by
this office with satisfactory results.
