Johnson Pope Litigation Team Secures $4 Million Settlement in FinTech Ownership Dispute

Johnson Pope’s litigation team achieved a $4 million recovery for our client, an owner of a fintech and payment processing company, in a high-stakes ownership dispute.

Managing Partner Darryl Richards, Partner Larry Dougherty, and Attorney David Stupich represented the client in a contentious battle with co-owners who sued our client and argued that our client had no claim and had forfeited all ownership rights. However, through aggressive litigation strategy, the team demonstrated that our client had not forfeited ownership rights based on prior bad acts as the owner claimed.

Despite repeated delays by the opposition, our attorneys pushed the case forward to a final hearing. On the eve of trial, they secured a favorable ruling on ownership, which, combined with significant admissions during depositions and strong pre-trial motion work, led to a $4 million recovery for our client.

This result underscores Johnson Pope’s ability to protect business owners in complex disputes and secure outcomes that safeguard both ownership and financial rights.
