We are excited to announce that we have secured a major victory for our client in Ohio’s First District Court of Appeals in First Financial Bank v. Tailored Fund Cap, LLC, 1st Dist. Hamilton No. C-230626, 2024-Ohio-4982.
The appeal involves an intercreditor dispute between an Ohio bank and our client, an alternative finance company known as a merchant cash advance (MCA) company, with complex legal issues.
At Durst Kerridge, we pride ourselves on our ability to distill complex commercial disputes into clear and compelling storylines for the Judge, Jury or Arbitrator. In a three-part series, we previously wrote about how we approached this case, from briefing to oral argument (which you can watch here).
The Court of Appeals ruled in our client’s favor, reversed the $1,187,886.29 judgment against our client and remanded the case to the trial court with instructions to dismiss the Bank’s case with prejudice.
Something I love about commercial litigation is that the cases tend to be unique and require a great deal of strategy and creativity. There is no “formula” for handling a financial services dispute or other complex commercial matter, particularly when the case has to be tried (as this one did).
Having decided to dedicate our practice to commercial litigation several years ago, we are proud to vigorously litigate these cases through Trial and Appeal in state and federal courts in Ohio and nationwide.
