Achieving Results

  • $80 Million Recovery for Community Association in Insurance Bad Faith Case

    We represented a 700+ unit community association in a battle with property insurers who denied coverage for widespread water intrusion damage. After litigating claims for insurance coverage and bad faith in federal court, we secured a series of settlements totaling $80 million—enabling the association to remediate damages and protect residents’ investments.

  • $10 Million Settlement for Downtown Condominium Against Insurer

    When a Seattle condominium association’s insurer denied coverage for long-term water intrusion damage, we filed suit alleging bad faith and violations of the Insurance Fair Conduct Act. Following intense litigation in federal court, we secured a $10 million settlement, providing the essential resources for critical repairs.

  • Historic $25 Million Construction Defect Settlement—Without Litigation

    For a condominium association facing construction defects, we designed a custom out-of-court dispute resolution process. The outcome? A $25 million settlement—the largest ever achieved by a Washington condo association at the time—avoiding litigation altogether and saving the client significant time and expense.

  • Trial Victory: $1.1 Million Judgment for Defrauded Employees

    We represented three plaintiffs in a two-week jury trial against a company that withheld promised ownership stakes and wages. The jury found the defendants liable for willful wage theft and securities fraud, resulting in a $1.1 million judgment—a decisive victory for employees wronged during a company’s early growth.

  • $5 Million Arbitration Award for Franchisee Against National Brand

    In arbitration against a major franchisor, we proved breach of contract, tortious interference, and unjust enrichment. The arbitrator awarded our client a net $5 million, leading to a full resolution soon thereafter.

  • Precedent-Setting Win for Minority Shareholder

    We successfully invalidated a disputed stock option agreement that majority shareholders attempted to use to force the sale of our client’s stake in a private company. After securing summary judgment, we negotiated a favorable exit that protected our client’s rights and preserved their financial interests.

  • Legal Counsel to Sports Organizations & Professionals

    We advise sports-related organizations on a wide range of complex legal and operational matters. Our experience includes representing clients, including the Seattle Storm (WNBA), in contract negotiations, strategic planning, and governance issues.

  • Appellate Success in Washington Courts

    Our attorneys have successfully briefed and argued cases before the Washington Court of Appeals, tackling nuanced and complex legal issues to achieve favorable outcomes for our clients. Appellate work demands clarity, precision, and strategic insight—and we’ve consistently delivered in high-stakes cases.
