Verdicts/Settlements (Case Results):
- The LA Auto Show spent over seven years in business litigation after it replaced its long time primary subcontractor, that was providing little value, by putting the work out to bid nationally and eventually hiring a new provider. Indeed, after making a change that saved it many hundreds of thousands of dollars annually, the LA Auto Show found itself being sued for stealing trade secrets and violating violating California Business & Profession’s Code § 17045's prohibition against secret revenue sharing that hurts competition. Then, in 2021, just as the parties were about to pick the jury, the auto show's lawyer developed medical issues that kept him from doing the trial. Jeffrey Cowan was retained to take over. He learned a case with more than 26 witnesses and 900 exhibits. In March 2022 – after 21 days of trial with dozens of witnesses testifying in person and via video – Mr. Cowan won a motion for a non-suit on all claims. Later, the jury said it they would have voted for the LA Auto show if it had been able to do so., 2022
