Verbal Agreement Wins Motion For Summary Judgment<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of our Firm\u2019s restaurant clients was facing a claim for over $200,000 in damages based upon an alleged breach of a written commercial lease.\u00a0The commercial landlord-tenant relationship at issue spanned nearly 30 years.\u00a0After untangling the web of leases, options to renew and actual lease renewals and renegotiations, our Firm was able to forward a nuanced legal argument that the ultimate lease in question was, in fact, an oral agreement, not a written agreement.\u00a0 As a result, our Firm argued the claim against its restaurant client should be barred by the applicable two-year statute of limitations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Court agreed with our Firm\u2019s position and granted the Client\u2019s Motion For Summary Judgment and awarded Clients their attorneys\u2019 fees incurred in defending the action, which allowed the client to move forward with opening its new restaurant location.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div><div id='av_section_2'
