Flaherty Secures Victory in Real Estate Contract Dispute

Evan S. Aldridge successfully defended his client in a high-stakes business dispute involving multi-million-dollar real estate projects in West Virginia and Georgia.

At issue was the client’s contractual right to purchase full ownership of a real estate development company. The trial court ruled in their favor, ordering specific performance of the option agreement, and the Intermediate Court of Appeals of West Virginia affirmed that decision. The court also rejected all counterclaims, including allegations of implied partnerships.

The ruling underscores the strength of carefully drafted business agreements and the importance of enforcing them when challenged.
