New Hampshire Joins Data Protection Trend, Passes Comprehensive Data Protection Law
  1. Experience

Represented a national manufacturer in a trio of cases in which the Plaintiffs began a concerted, multi-country effort to assert claims against our clients by alleging claims in Michigan state court and the Ontario Superior Court of Justice for breach of contract, unjust enrichment, tortious interference, and civil conspiracy related to failure to pay an earnout in a Stock Purchase Agreement. Plaintiffs also named the individual directors and officers of our client as defendants. We filed multiple Motions for Summary Disposition for failure to state a claim and lack of personal jurisdiction in Michigan, which the court granted while holding others in abeyance pending the Canadian litigation. We also filed a third lawsuit in Delaware federal court alleging breach of non-competition and non-solicitation covenants. As a result of this strategy by Benesch, the cases were settled with a settlement payment to our clients, despite Plaintiffs initially filing the lawsuit and seeking significant damages.
