Client Successes

• In a complex business dispute involving a partnership, Gavin Fleming, with the help of co-counsel, obtained a $19,000,000.00 verdict after a multi-day jury trial in Oakland County Circuit Court, one of the largest business litigation jury verdicts in Michigan’s history.
• In a complex professional liability matter, Gavin Fleming with co-counsel, obtained a $13,100,000.00 judgment in Wayne County Circuit Court, one of the largest judgments ever achieved in the State of Michigan in this area of the law.
• In a high-stakes commercial litigation action, Gavin Fleming achieved a 7-figure settlement on behalf of our client in pre-suit negotiations.
• In a highly complex 8-figure acquisition, Gavin Fleming represented the seller from inception to closing, providing advice on: complex due diligence; Sub-chapter S conversion; critical membership interest purchase terms; and compensation.
• In a multi-million dollar bet-the-company Appeal, Gavin Fleming obtained a full reversal of the trial court’s decision to grant the appellee summary disposition, which resulted in the client settling the multi-million dollar claim for $10,000.00.  The outcome on Appeal literally saved the company from liquidation.
• In the defense of a high-stakes commercial lawsuit against a family business that was stunned by the untimely passing of its owner and key employee due to a lack of any succession plan, we executed a strategy that afforded the son of the owner time to take the reins of the business and, eventually, emerge profitable.  Gavin Fleming obtained key rulings removing the case from Illinois to Michigan, asserted defenses both pre-judgment and post-judgment, and, as a result, favorably resolved all claims such that the business could absorb a tragic loss while maintaining continuity for the benefit of the owners, vendors, and customers.
