In the final months of 2025, we delivered a series of client wins emblematic of our ethos — using no way as way, and having no limitation as limitation. 

August. In a shipping fraud action to recover $800K from defendants who underreported the weight for hundreds of shipments, we defeated their motion to dismiss and convinced the court to strike their affirmative defenses after an 11th hour discovery and interception of defendants’ secret attempt to transfer property away from future creditors. 

September. We intervened and prevented an attempted buyback of our client's equity shares during the company's $10M merger. Just days before the merger, the CEO attempted to revise a controlling repurchase agreement to justify acquiring the client's shares for below-market consideration. Following a week of spirited negotiations, we agreed to a settlement that resulted in a 411% increase to our client's shares (from $233K to $1.14M).

November. In an ABC assignee involving a book-account claim against our client, our investigation revealed the countless accounting errors that resulted in an inflated demand (i.e., assignee’s improper exclusion of credits and payments, failure to account for mutual setoff rigths). In the end, we negotiated a 90% reduction of the demand amount and secured voluntary dismissal of the matter. 

December. In a complex cross-border severance matter, we secured a 190% increase in severance compensation on behalf of a private equity client following month-long negotiations over the applicability of Italian statutory benefits, potential visa fraud-related exposure, and bonus entitlements under prevailing US law. 

January. What initially began as a simple repayment matter evolved into an investigation that revealed a systematic, decade-long fraud regarding a client’s long-time accountant, namely, that (1) neither the accountant nor his firm are licensed CPAs; (2) a $20K client loan was used for the CPA’s personal investments (and remain unpaid); (3) third-party lawsuits against the CPA confirm the same underlying conduct.  The matter remains active, and we expect to vindicate our client’s rights.
