Why a contingency fee fits these cases

When a business is owed money, paying hourly legal bills to collect it can feel like losing twice. With a contingency fee, we are paid a percentage of what we recover through a settlement or judgment. If there is no recovery, there is no attorney’s fee. The percentage, and how case expenses are handled, are set out in a written agreement before any work begins.

A winning party can often recover interest on the unpaid balance on top of the debt itself, which adds leverage in settlement. Contract claims also have filing deadlines, so it pays to act early.

When the company hides behind a shell

When the company that owes you tries to hide behind another entity or move assets, there may be claims against the individuals behind it. In one recent case in the Southern District of New York, the firm defeated a motion to dismiss fraud and veil-piercing claims against the individual owner of a contracting company and then obtained a consensual judgment for its publicly traded client.
