Series B down-round restructuring for a SaaS company

CHALLENGE
A down round threatened to trigger a change-of-control clause that would have handed the board to a single investor class.

We renegotiated liquidation preferences across three investor classes in parallel, structuring the round to preserve founder control.
RESULT
The round closed in six weeks without triggering the clause, and the founding team retained board majority.

Intellectual Property

Full win, no appeal

Trademark infringement — mid-market apparel brand

CHALLENGE
A competitor launched a near-identical mark weeks before our client's national retail rollout.
APPROACH
We filed for a preliminary injunction within days and built a consumer-confusion record ahead of the hearing.
RESULT
A preliminary injunction was granted within 30 days, followed by full judgment before the case reached discovery.

Employment & Labor

Dismissed pre-trial

Multi-plaintiff wrongful-termination defense

CHALLENGE
Four former employees filed coordinated wrongful-termination claims following a reduction in force.
APPROACH
We reconstructed the documentation trail behind each termination decision and cross-referenced it against company policy.
RESULT
All four claims were dismissed on summary judgment before any claim reached trial.

White Collar

No charges filed

Corporate fraud investigation response

CHALLENGE
A regulator opened an inquiry into financial reporting irregularities flagged by an external auditor.
APPROACH
We ran the internal investigation in parallel with regulator outreach, controlling disclosure timing and scope.
RESULT
The matter closed with no charges filed and no consent order, before any indictment was sought.

Corporate · Litigation

Settled above floor

Post-acquisition earnout dispute

CHALLENGE
An acquirer disputed an earnout payment, arguing the target had missed performance milestones by a technicality.
APPROACH
We audited the underlying performance data and built a damages model that reframed the technicality as immaterial.
RESULT
The dispute settled above the contractual floor without proceeding to arbitration.

Antitrust & Trade

Franchise retained

Franchise-agreement termination dispute

CHALLENGE
A franchisor attempted to terminate a multi-unit franchise agreement over a disputed compliance issue.
APPROACH
We challenged the termination notice on procedural grounds while negotiating a cure period in parallel.
RESULT
The franchise agreement was retained and the compliance issue resolved without loss of territory.
