Firm Wins License Defense in Arbitration

The firm represented a national non-profit dedicated to assisting black contractors in the construction industry.  The firm’s client was sued by a homeowner under an alter-ego theory related to a dispute between the homeowner and an unrelated contractor. The homeowner brought numerous causes of action against the client, including financial elder abuse under Welfare & Institutions Code section 15610.30; unfair business practices under Business & Professions Code section 17200; breach of contract; breach of fiduciary duty; negligence; negligence per se; intentional misrepresentation; negligent misrepresentation; gender discrimination; and false promise. The firm successfully brought a motion for summary judgment against all of the homeowner’s claims, resulting in a complete victory for the firm’s client.
