Texas Corporate Litigation Lawyer
Business Litigation Over Corporate Control or Fraud
The law office of John McDuff represents any party in litigation centering on manipulation or misrepresentation by any business entity, including corporations. I have brought lawsuits on behalf of investors, shareholders and employees, and protected the interests of directors, executives and corporate entities accused of impropriety or regulatory violations.
I bring 20 years of experience in business litigation, including corporate disputes. I take cases in Travis County and Central Texas. Contact my Austin office at 512.457.1177.
Corporate Litigation
I can capably address the most complex corporate matters, such as:
- Breach of fiduciary duty by directors or officers
- Control disputes among shareholders
- Misrepresentations in issuing stock
- Insider trading or stock manipulation
- Improper compensation to key employees
- Fraud or abuse of executive power
- Agreements (confidentiality/ non-compete agreements)
In investor representation, I employ my background in accounting and business litigation to show that corporate officials misrepresented the company's financial position to persuade them to buy stock.
On the other hand, business litigation in the corporate fishbowl, particularly lawsuits brought by disaffected investors, exposes individuals and the company to potentially large awards and bad press. In representing key corporate figures, I counter allegations by proving there was no intent to defraud nor undue personal gain.
I am a lawyer who thoroughly prepares every case for the possibility of a trial, while searching for settlements and compromises acceptable to clients.
