Sector: Media & Telecommunications; Appellate
Practice Area: Commercial Dispute Resolution
The firm has successfully represented a corporate client and a majority shareholder over a 5 mil. EUR lawsuit filed based on a shareholders’ agreement concerning a joint venture in a TMT sector company.
Initiated in 2019, the claim was dismissed in the first instance in 2022 by the Commercial Court and confirmed as final by the Commercial Court of Appeal recently. In a complex factual matrix spanning a long number of years of the joint venture and grappling with various arguments on the interpretation of the agreement between the relevant parties, the firm succeeded in arguing that the obligations to pay certain sums never arose and defended the respondents with respect to their alleged joint liability. Full costs have been awarded to the respondents.
