October 13, 2008
Crosby & Higgins LLP has filed a lawsuit in the Federal District Court for the Southern District of New York on behalf of its client, a successful foreign businessman, alleging numerous contractual, statutory and tort claims arising out of an agreement with a New York company. The complaint alleges that the Defendant made numerous fraudulent misrepresentations and omissions and breached the parties’ agreement by, among other things, threatening to disclose protected confidential information. In order to protect the confidential information from illegal disclosure, Crosby & Higgins successfully obtained a temporary restraining order followed by a preliminary injunction prohibiting disclosure and sealing the record in the case. The lawsuit seeks a permanent injunction as well as additional compensatory and punitive damages.
