$1,000,000+ recovery for business cheated by partner

John Leighton represented a prominent developer. The developer engaged in a joint venture with another business to build a major shopping center in Florida.  As the developer was finalizing the purchase of a choice parcel of land on which to build, it’s “partner” bought it out from under our client, entered a partnership with another developer, and cheated our client out of the potential profits from this deal.  Mr. Leighton negotiated a confidential settlement on behalf of our client which included a cash settlement and a portion of the future sale.
