When the documents addressing corporate governance and ownership are not clear, disputes inevitably follow. That is what happened to a successful technology company based in DuPage County.

The claims jeopardized the business and its owners. Following a week-long bench trial, Tomlinson & Shapiro attorneys Michael Shapiro, and Michael Tomlinson won a ruling declaring that the former executive had no ownership interest in the company.
