Prepared Pre-Trial approach, assemble Courtroom-friendly exhibits, deposed as Expert Witness and Testified at Trial on behalf of Owner/Developer midway through a significant Retail component repositioning of an existing Arlington VA Mixed use project. Tenant initiated lawsuit over redevelopment rights and changes to parking, servicing and frontage. Strategy employed common-sense visuals and explanations, along with deep credentials and references to Urban Mixed-Use trends, and the significant opportunity presented to this tenant, as counters to claims of interruption and diminished sales. Court testimony was instrumental in resolving case outcome in client’s favor.

Federated Bankruptcy
