J.A.W.

Seller breached non-compete and retook control. BrewerLong sued, securing a favorable settlement for J.A.W....Read More

BrewerLong represented J.A.W., an LLC shareholder purchasing a company. The individual who was selling the company had an employment contract with the seller to continue working with the sold company for two years as the buyers transitioned into running the business. The employment contract was a key component of the sales agreement, which included an agreement for the seller to non-compete nor solicit employees to prevent the seller from working against the company. The problem for J.A.W arose when the seller did not honor the terms of the non-compete and worked against the business. He went so far as to change the locks and resume control of the business even though he had sold it and accepted an initial deposit on its sale. Furthermore, the seller successfully solicited the employee charged with running things for J.A.W, who was out of state. In response, J.A.W. ceased paying on the payments owed for the acquisition of the business until they could work through the breach of contract. However, the seller then used J.A.W.’s nonpayment to claim default on the sale. For going against his contract, BrewerLong sued the seller. The result for our client was a settlement for a significant sum of money and terms that highly favored them.

Contract Dispute

Our client was Excellent LCDs, a California based company that sells large LCD screens. They entered a contract with a Chinese manufacturer which gave our client the exclusive right to sell LCD screens in North America. The issue for Excellent LCDs arose when the manufacturer went against the contract and began selling LCD screens through another distributer in the U.S. Not only that, but the manufacturer sent Excellent LCDs bad product so that when customers called them on the warranty, the manufacturer would then offer to sell them more screens for a better deal with their other distributor. Excellent LCDs stopped paying the manufacturer for product because they were in breach of contract and undermining their business. Because of this, the manufacturer sued Excellent LCDs in Federal Court in Florida. Their contract had an arbitration provision which BrewerLong used to get all claims and litigation dismissed and settled in favor of our client.

Our client Lisa started a promotional products company with her business partner Steve. She managed the day-to-day business in Florida, and he did operations in California. They sold masks at the beginning of the pandemic and were doing really well. Their business got an order for masks at a price point Lisa didn’t like, so she did not accept the order. However, Steve did. While he ran it through as their business, Steve actually used a side company he had started with his girlfriend to produce the order. They did a poor job on the order and Lisa got sued by their customer because it was done under her business’s name. Lisa confronted Steve, and he walked away to compete directly using his side company. BrewerLong sued Steve over a breach in their operations agreement and the arbitration agreement in their contract. We tried the case, won on all counts, got Lisa awarded damages, and got Steve completely disassociated from her company.

Mr. and Mrs. Jones own a horse farm. One day, three of the horses got out of the pasture and into the road. It was a foggy day and sadly, all three horses were struck by vehicles. One driver in a tractor trailer struck and killed a horse. The driver sued the Jones’ farm alleging that the horses were in the road due to negligence on their part. BrewerLong filed a motion for summary judgment, which was granted and found in our favor due to the sheer lack of evidence that the horses got out due to negligence.
