The speaker is a business and commercial litigator, having practiced in this field for nearly 36 years. They resolve disputes for business clients, which usually include companies and sometimes their owners, involving a wide range of commercial and business disputes. Currently, they are handling a case in federal court in Missouri, representing a company from Maple Grove that contracted with a county to conduct a flyover of the property. This was intended to help the county increase tax collection on properties not listed on the tax rolls, but the county has refused to pay, resulting in a significant dispute.
While the speaker manages various contract-type disputes, they have primarily focused on shareholder disputes and corporate governance disputes for the last 15 to 20 years. Their background as a former CPA provides them with a strong understanding of the numbers, and they enjoy applying their business knowledge in legal situations. They aim not only to resolve disputes for business clients but also to help them reach a favorable outcome—whether that means remaining in the company and working out their differences or navigating through litigation.
In some cases, they may represent the owner who is being removed from the company, while in others, they may represent the owner who wishes to stay. Most of their clients are small, closely held companies that need to return to their core business operations, whether that involves resolving disputes within the same company or moving to another company altogether. Over the past 15 to 20 years, the speaker has managed more than a hundred such cases and has taken only a couple to trial. Most business and commercial litigation cases are resolved through compromise and negotiation, although some do proceed through the courts. Ultimately, the speaker’s goal is to help their clients return to focusing on their business and making money, rather than being entangled in legal proceedings.
