Shareholder Breakup: Fair Share Obtained in Buyout

In the middle of a lengthy litigation regarding the breakup of surgeons in their practice, one of the doctors discharged his lawyer and hired Quadrino Schwartz.

Our client's former partners claimed that there was no dollar value to his interest in the surgical practice. Partner Richard Quadrino vigorously pursued the case, reconstructing computer records from years earlier, showing the value of the receivables due to the practice at the time of the client's departure. He also demonstrated to the court that the other side was hiding information that was critical to the case.

After a few extended battles, Mr. Quadrino convinced the attorneys for the other doctors to recommend a large settlement. They agreed, paying our client hundreds of thousands of dollars for the buyout of his interest in the company.
