Aaron was part of the legal team that obtained a preliminary injunction in federal court on behalf of an environmental clean-up company that enjoined the company’s former sales associates from using valuable stolen trade secrets. The case settled favorably before trial.
In a case involving a business owner, who had lost majority control of a business he founded, Aaron worked under extreme time pressure in order to successfully obtain a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction against the majority interest holder due to an apparent misappropriation of corporate funds. When the corporation’s board subsequently deadlocked, Aaron persuaded the court to appoint a provisional director to the corporation’s board, which ultimately led to a settlement whereby the client regained control of his company.
Aaron successfully tried an arbitration for breach of contract, and based on the arbitrator’s award, obtained a money judgment of over $90,000.
Representing a secured creditor in a bankruptcy in a jurisdiction on the east coast, Aaron successfully opposed the bankruptcy trustee’s motion to disregard the client’s lien.
Handled prosecution and maintenance of various foreign and domestic trademarks.
Helped to advise corporations regarding preservation of trade secrets and creation and maintenance of trademark portfolios.
Assisted in private equity transactions in a family-owned business.
