Associates Jordan Parker and Jared Peloquin took the lead on researching, drafting, and arguing an early motion for summary judgment for Ware Jackson’s client in a wrongful death case in which the plaintiff alleged the condition of our client’s property posed an unreasonable risk of harm. No argument was necessary when the plaintiff voluntarily dismissed Ware Jackson’s client from the case shortly after the motion was filed. This proactive strategy eliminated our client’s litigation exposure and avoided the cost of extensive discovery and trial. Ware Jackson is proud to have talented associates like Jordan and Jared on board and looks forward to delivering more exceptional results for our clients in the future!

A Houston trial court has granted summary judgment in favor of Ware Jackson’s client, a major international energy company. The plaintiff company had claimed the client breached a settlement agreement from a prior patent infringement suit, which it asked the court to rescind, and sought over $11 million in alleged lost profits and expenses, as well as attorneys’ fees. Ware Jackson successfully argued on summary judgment that the client did not cause any injury to the plaintiff and that the plaintiff’s contract claim was barred by res judicata and the statute of limitations. The litigation team included Eileen O’Neill, Paul Smith, Michelle Blair, Tyler Henkel, and Jordan Parker.
