Our client had introduced the Respondent to one of the largest pharmaceutical companies in the US. The client, for six months, attended meetings, calls, and did substantial efforts to introduce the Respondent to a high profile relationship it had built for over a decade. As a result, the Respondent was able to do business with the pharmacy and obtain contracts worth tens of millions of dollars.

When the Respondent refused to pay the commission’s agreed upon in the contract, we initiated arbitration on behalf of our client in California pursuant to the arbitration clause of the commission agreement. After nearly a year litigating the case, we obtained a $295,000 arbitration award.

At the closing argument, both parties requested an award of legal fees. While neither party obtained its legal fees. The record showed that the California law firm was requesting $275,000 in legal fees. In contrast, Ayala’s client had paid only $45,000 in legal fees up to that point.

This case highlights how efficient Ayala can be in favorably resolving disputes for its client, litigating against the largest entities and law firms in the world. It shows the kind of value we can provide to our clients for less than one fifth of what traditional big law firms charge.

As in many business cases, there was an imperfectly drafted agreement between the partners as to who owned what or what percentages. The evidence, however, showed that regardless of the agreements, the other partners had ceded their interest in the business (and therefore, the land) to our client in exchange for taking our client’s interest in the company they co-owned abroad.

After nearly two years of litigation the case went to a jury trial. Our team persuaded the jury that, regardless of the imperfections (or even contradictions) in the agreements prepared by plaintiff, (who is not a lawyer), the fact remained that the parties intended for the transfer of the land to be an exchange of a prior transfer of like-kind benefit, the foreign company assets.

Through good persuasion techniques and storytelling, our team was able to persuade the jury that our client did nothing wrong. The jury returned a full defense verdict for our client.
