FMG's Commercial Litigation/Directors & Officers Section works with clients of all sizes covering the full spectrum of large and sophisticated commercial litigation.
FMG’s Commercial Litigation/Directors & Officers Section handles disputes involving complex business or financial transactions, multi-jurisdictional claims and numerous plaintiffs and defendants. Our team includes attorneys from all of our offices who provide specialized defense for private, public and non-profit organizations.
FMG attorneys Jill Dunn, assisted by appellate attorney Michael Freed, prevailed at trial of a shareholder derivative action in the Cobb County Superior Court. A shareholder and former employee asserted claims in a derivative action for the purported benefit of a corporation against FMG’s client and two individuals. Among other claims, Plaintiff asserted civil RICO claims and sought treble damages. Following the close of Plaintiff’s case after two and a half days of trial, the court entered a directed verdict in favor of FMG’s client and the two individuals. Following trial, the court granted a motion for attorneys’ fees, awarding FMG’s client the full amount of fees it sought against Plaintiff and his counsel.
