Select Experience
- Obtained dismissal of third-party claims for contribution and breach of contract brought by a company against a staffing agency, when the agency’s employees brought a claim alleging the company and its payroll provider used fingerprint- based time clocks without complying with the notice and consent provisions of the Biometric Information Privacy Act (“BIPA”). The trial court granted a motion to dismiss.
- Resolved class action claim against energy provider alleging violations of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act arising out of claims that the energy provider’s marketing vendor placed calls to persons on the Do Not Call Registry.
- Resolved competing breach of contract claims between accounting firm and software developer arising out of accounting firm’s termination of contract for development of digital document archiving system on alleged delays in development process.
- Obtained two appellate court rulings affirming trial court’s dismissal of construction defect claims against construction and design industry clients based on economic loss doctrine.
- Defeated plaintiff’s motion for class certification in a suit alleging violations of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act based on garnishments of bank accounts where the defendant used outdated statutory exemption claim forms. The trial court agreed that the differences between the outdated exemption claim forms and the current forms were immaterial and that individual issues between class members and the named Plaintiff defeated commonality, typicality, and adequacy of representation.
