We are pleased to announce a significant victory for our client in a complex commercial litigation case. Representing a leading Texas-based company, Snell Law successfully appealed a trial court’s denial of our client’s motion to dismiss under the Texas Citizens Participation Act (TCPA). This statute aims to protect individuals and businesses from baseless legal claims that might hinder their freedom to engage in lawful business practices.
Our client, an innovator in the field of functional foods and nutritional supplements, initially filed a lawsuit against a former employee due to breaches of fiduciary duty, fraud, and unjust enrichment. In response, the former employee counterclaimed, asserting malicious prosecution and abuse of process.
With our team’s expertise and dedication, we argued on appeal that the counterclaims were legally unsupported and should be dismissed under the TCPA. The appellate court agreed, reversing the trial court’s initial denial and remanding the case for a determination of attorney’s fees, costs, and sanctions owed to our client. This outcome not only affirms our client’s legal position but also underscores the strength of the protections available under the TCPA.
This victory is a testament to our commitment to pursuing justice for our clients and defending their rights against unfounded claims. We look forward to continuing to provide the high-quality legal representation that Snell Law is known for.
