Types of major business litigation Munley, Munley &
Cartwright has handled for companies include "kill-the-company"
cases, where a small or medium-sized business is actually forced
out of business because of the negligence, misrepresentation, or
simple breach of contract of another person or company. These
cases require extensive expert witness involvement, both in
establishing why the wrongdoer was at fault and also in setting
forth what the value of the lost company was. These cases have
included:
- Lender liability, where a
commercial lending institution decides to pull the financing on
the entire company, and puts it out of business, for reasons
that are inadequate or in conflict with principles of good faith
and fair dealing;
- Accountant and auditor
malpractice, where a company's management or creditors are
misled by shoddy accounting work to believe that the financial
condition of a company is much different (usually stronger) than
it actually was;
- Product
liability, where a vendor supplies defective components
to the company, which incorporates them in its manufacturing
process and results in so much liability to its own customers
that the company must either bring suit against the vendor or go
out of business
Other types of business litigation
we have handled includes:
- Disputes over shareholders'
rights in close corporations and family companies. These have
included:
- Freeze-out of company
president/minority shareholder by majority shareholders;

in change-of-corporate governance cases;
- Disputes over proper
accounting for profits by management
