Notable Decisions/Results
John successfully defended a breach of contract action involving a multi-million dollar New York City Public Improvement project in Brooklyn , where plaintiffs alleged trust fund diversion, unjust enrichment, and sought to recover upwards of $18 million. While claims were asserted against multiple defendants, John identified that the plaintiffs failed to state a cause of action against his client and moved for pre-answer dismissal. Faced with the strength of the motion, plaintiffs opted not to amend their complaint but instead voluntarily discontinued their action with prejudice as against the client, which protected them from further involvement in a high-value litigation.
