Moore & Bruce, LLP represents clients dealing with many
different types of disputes. These range from simple
commercial disagreements to complex multiparty litigation.
Much of the litigation involves challenges to government
actions. On a day-to-day basis, we deal with controversies
that cross one or more borders.
We are able to enforce a client’s legal rights efficiently
and rapidly. Where a venture capital group breached a
nondisclosure/non-circumvention agreement, we obtained a
temporary restraining order from a Magistrate in the State
of Delaware in less than 48 hours. The order was enforced in
the US against US and European partners of the defendant.
When a large institutional investor—then the 66th largest
company in the world—threatened a company that had
introduced to it a highly successful investment opportunity,
we obtained an order from a State court in a small town in
Colorado that protected the client, which order was
effective worldwide.
A client was unhappy with the allocation of seats to season
ticket holders in a new stadium. Without resorting to a
court, we were able satisfactorily to resolve the matter in
a couple of weeks.
One of the largest European based construction companies
reneged on its contract to pay a commission to a consultant
for helping it obtain contracts from a southeast European
country. The company refused to enter into a detailed
written contract. We advised the client that he could rely
upon an oral agreement negotiated and entered into in the
US. This position survived motions for summary judgment, and
facing a jury trial in the District of Columbia, the
defendant agreed to a settlement that far exceeded what it
ever intended to pay.
We conduct litigation and related discovery around the
globe. We are known for our strategic and tactical skills.
We frequently advise non-US persons how to avoid or minimize
the risk of lawsuits in the US. We advised a
Bermuda-headquartered bank on this subject, as it arose in a
contract with a US provider of marketing services.
