🚨Different Wins®🚨 --> https://lnkd.in/g--qw2JF Dallas-Hub Partner, Andrew Robertson, and Associate, Steven Wood achieved a favorable outcome when the judge granted our global directed verdict motion as soon as the Plaintiff rested his case, a rare occurrence that significantly favored our client. This outcome demonstrates the strength of our defense and the effectiveness of our legal strategy in discrediting the Plaintiff's claims.   At QPWB, we not only represent the truth, but we advocate for it, always ready to challenge and diligently pursue justice. John Andrew and Steven's proven determination and ability to navigate and succeed in complex legal battles showcase their skill in construction litigation. They not only expose and challenge biases within the legal system but also ensure a just outcome despite initial obstacles, making a meaningful difference in favor of our clients and setting a precedent that protects their pursuit of justice.    Read the full story by clicking the link in above!   Learn more about John Andrew Robertson here: https://lnkd.in/gv9yNFGV  Learn more about Steven A.

#TheWinningTeam Brought the team out for a nice dinner to celebrate a recent victory from a High Court trial. What started as a regular estate administration matter expanded into a full on dispute when our client was replaced as the defendant as administratrix for her late husband’s estate. Her late husband was embroiled in the dispute before he passed. The previous lawyers for the late husband decided it was not worth the fight and withdrew. We took on the challenge as the client, a homemaker, had no one else to turn to. Issues of breach of contract, misrepresentation, constructive trust, fraud, conversion, breach of fiduciary duties, and piercing of the corporate veil came into play at the trial. The plaintiff’s claim was eventually dismissed with costs awarded to our client. The win was a team effort with the work parceled among team members: • An Associate delivered the oral opening for the defendant’s case; • A Partner cross-examined the other side’s expert witness; • Another Associate cross-examined a factual witness. For some of the Associates, it was their first high court trial and their first taste of advocacy in open court. I wanted them to experience how it was like being in the “hot seat” as first chair, so when it came to assisting as second chair, they will know what it takes to give support to a team member standing in court. With more matters being settled through ADR and trial opportunities become rarer, I am grateful to the client agreeing to allow the juniors to hone their advocacy skills in real-life situations. The young ones stepped up to the challenge. So what did I do you ask? Well, I bought dinner to thank the winning team!

Our chart reveals which firms are involved in the ‘beefiest’ (high value) disputes. Claim value is a powerful dimension for examining performance in the market, and when considering claims over £1 million as a benchmark, Clyde & Co top this list too. HFW emerged in second after a very busy year, almost tripling their volume of higher value cases. Kennedys, Weightmans, and Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP are closely positioned, with DAC Beachcroft, Shoosmiths and RPC- law firm following. Dechert LLP is the defendant firm in several Russo-Ukrainian war disputes, which has seen its high value work increase threefold. Pinsent Masons feature, as do Herbert Smith Freehills, CMS UK, Quinn Emanuel and Mishcon de Reya LLP. Bird & Bird and Addleshaw Goddard have also been involved in high value disputes.
