TELS attorney Jason Herman represented the Defendant in a multi-millon dollar breach of contract dispute. After proceeding through a bench trial on the Defendant's counter-claim, the Court dismissed Plaintiff's claims, and then awarded the Defendant more than $1.9 million in damages.
ALTAMONTE SPRINGS, Florida -- Traub Eglin Lieberman Straus LLP (TELS) is pleased to announce that Jason P. Herman, a partner in the firm's Altamonte Springs office, obtained a successful judgment for his client, along with a substantial award on counterclaim at trial.
Mr. Herman successfully represented an IT and telecom services company in a breach of contract lawsuit in August, 2005. His client is in the business of providing customer relationship management and IT consulting services for a broad range of mid-size and Fortune 1000 companies.
Mr. Herman's client had agreed to provide IT and telecommunications support to the Plaintiff, who was a major supplier in the food service industry. The Defendant provided computer hardware, software, training and a fully-staffed call center to the Plaintiff. However, six months into the agreement, the Defendant notified the Plaintiff that it may cancel the contract due to non-payment. In response, the Plaintiff filed suit in Florida for breach of contract, claiming Defendant's poor performance caused the Plaintiff to lose its largest clients. Mr. Herman, on behalf of the Defendant, then filed a counter-claim for breach based on non-payment, and acceleration of infrastructure costs the Defendant had incurred in servicing the account.
During pre-trial proceedings, the Plaintiff's claims were dismissed by the Court. After proceeding through a bench trial on the Defendant's counter-claim, the Court awarded the Defendant more than $1.9 million in damages arising from services rendered, as well as proprietary equipment that was never returned.
TELS congratulates Mr. Herman on his successful trial result.
