Successfully tried a preliminary injunction hearing in the Chancery Division

Successfully tried a preliminary injunction hearing in the Chancery Division of the Circuit Court of Cook County.  At issue was a dispute between shareholders of a closely held corporation that owns and manages real property.  The firm’s client filed suit after the defendant shareholder attempted a hostile takeover of the company in contravention of corporate governance documents, including purporting to remove the firm’s client as a director and appointed officer, while also looting company bank accounts and freezing our client out from access to certain company software.  At the conclusion of the four-day hearing that included multiple witnesses and expert testimony, the judge granted all relief sought by the firm’s client in its entirety, including restoring corporate governance positions, ordering the defendant’s name be removed from all company bank accounts, and ordering the defendant to restore complete access to all software accounts.  The client said, “You told me exactly what you were going to do, you did it, and it worked out exactly like you said it should.  I can’t thank you enough.”
