Successfully Defended and Settled a Series of Lawsuits for Sustainable Waste Solutions Client

Successfully defended and settled a series of lawsuits brought against the firm’s client, a national provider of sustainable waste solutions. The dispute began with an agreement by our client to sell a solid waste transfer facility in 2018 and led to the purchaser bringing multiple breach of contract, tort and CUTPA claims involving several parties and totaling over $450 million in claimed damages. The Superior Court granted our client summary judgment and dismissed all claims asserted against it. The purchaser appealed the decision and commenced a new lawsuit, while we pursued counterclaims against the purchaser. The parties then reached an agreement resolving all litigation between them, and the lawsuits were withdrawn without any payment being made by or to either party.
