Breach of Fiduciary Duty
Represented a business and one of its shareholders in a jury trial in Will County (Joliet), Illinois. At trial we argued that a former shareholder of the corporation had breached her fiduciary duties by, among other things, working with a property management company and a neighboring business to misappropriate corporate assets. The jury found in favor of our clients on all counts which went to the jury, including conversion, breach of fiduciary duty, and aiding and abetting the breach of fiduciary duty. Compensatory and punitive damages were assessed against all five defendants, including the neighboring businesses (and its owners individually), the property management company (and individually against a physician who acted on its behalf), and our client’s former business partner.
